I'm trying to configure my wife's computer so that I can access her hard drive from my PC. But when I try to establish the share, I get the error:
An error occurred while trying to share Work.
The Server service is not started.
When I go into Services.msc and check the Server service, it says automatic, but the Status is blank. When I attempt to start the service, I get the error message:
Could not start the Services server on Local Computer
Error 126: The specified module could not be found.
Hit ok, let it "remove" the component, and reboot.
Then do it again, only this time check the box. See if that doesn't fix your problem.
(of course if the box isn't checked when you go there, check it.)
You may need your XP cd to do this depending on how XP was installed.
