Vista - Cannot start the Diagnostic Policy Service

Hello

When i try to start the "Diagnostic Policy Service" I recive this error
message: (translated from Norwegian)

"windows could not start the Diagnostic Policy Service service on Local
Computer. Error: 5 – Access is Denied"

I have tried it in several user accounts including the administrator one.

Anyone know the cause of this problem?

I have the exact same issue on a clients PC, running Vista Home Premium.

Multiple services do not start (event viewer, diagnostic policy
service) and the network and sharing centre doesn't work at all.

Interesting to note, there are a lot of driver conflicts under network
devices in the device manager, WAN miniports IPV4 and IPV6, some
rubbish called isatap (heaps of those, isatap.vic.optushome.com.au.
being one of them).

Hi to ALL,
I had the same problem with DPS service and has been solved in this simple way.
To local disk C, where is installed the Vista HB OS ,has been added new USER,
it means : right ckick on disc C icon \propriety\security\group or user names has been added the following users
-Authenticated Users
-Users
-Cretaor Owner
After the restart DPS service started automatically !!!! You are in local service now !
Good DPS starting.......
