Hi there, I have been scanning through your forums, and you look like a good choice to approach with a request for help.
I am having two problems, and they are driving me nuts!
The first, and possibly the most important, is that my windows ICF is down, and I cannot get it back up again. When I try, I get an error message, telling me that an error occurred while Internet connection sharing was being enabled. The dependency service or group failed to start. So I ran services.msc, and looked at the dependency groups for it, and found that the remote access control manager wasn't started. When I tried to start it, I got error message 5: access is denied. I tried to start it in safe mode, but was told that it couldn't be done in safe mode, so I don't know how to access it.
The second problem is that my BITS system is down, making it impossible to use windows update. every time I try to use the update, I get an error message: Error Code: 80246008 . I have looked at a few web forums on the subject, but none of them seem to do the trick, and a few of them seem a little beyond my capabilities to perform without step by step help

The only thing that I find really suspicious about it is that on the HJT log, there are two references to svchost.exe, but on my task manager, there are four...
Any help would be greatly appreciated
