Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

Windows 7 Pro laptop will not connect to corporate domain. Multiple identical twin laptops have no problem.

Best suggestion so far has been to leave the domain and rejoin it, BUT the relevant buttons are grayed out and the comment says "Note: The identification of the computer cannot be changed because:- The Workstation service is not running. Open the Services snap-in (services.msc) to ensure it is running and set its Startup Type as "Automatic"."

In services.msc the Workstation service is already set to Automatic but is not started. When I try to start it manually the response is "Windows could not start the Workstation service on Local Computer." and then "Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."

Rebooting gets me nowhere.

In all other respects that laptop appears fine and can connect to the Internet, but NOT to the network. I have brought it and a twin laptop home to try on my domestic network and get the same results.

Any ideas, please?

    Hi,

     

    Your Windows 7 question is more complex than what is typically answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro audience on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows 7 Networking forum.

    Wow - great answer.

    Someone needs help and your advice is "go post somewhere else"?

    I cannot wait any longer and hence I have taken an image from the working twin laptop and put that onto the problem machine. I then changed the Windows license key and the Computer Name to the correct ones.
