Peer Networking Grouping isn't running??

nikiyoung

Hi Guys
Trying to remove a homegroup from my daughters computer was set up in error now trying to remove it - not had a prob removing form 2 other lappys just clicked and removed it but this one is causing me probs.

The computer is saying that "Peer Networking Group Service isn't Running"
I have run the Windows Network Diagnostics and it is saying that "Either the Peer Name Resolution Protocol Service (PNRPsvc) or the Peer Networking Identity Manager service (p2pimsvc) is not running" .... the (p2psvc) Depends on both these services to function properly.

Any ideas???

Thanks
Niki

Did you click start then run, type services.msc then press enter, give it a minute for the services box to show, then check those services?
