In Control Panel-Network Connections is blank.  Previously showed Dial-up Connection and LAN Connection with the Status of each.  When I try to open, a window appears,"Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve list of Network Adapters on your machine.  Make sure Network Connections Service is enabled and running."

 

To enable, I go to Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Services(local)-Network Connections - Attempted to start service and get Error Message 193:oxc1, "Could not start Network Services on Local Computer".

 

Windows Firewall is also disabled.  In Control Panel-Windows Firewall, when tryng to enable, a window appears, "Windows Firewall settings can not be displayed because associated service is not running.  Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connections Sharing (ICS) Service? (YES)  Window appears, "Windows can not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connections Sharing Service.

 

Can anyone tell me how to correct whatever problem is causing this condition?
