Someone on here I thought was helping me in several posts back he has a photo on his avatar the older white man wonder where he is?

I did not follow up on your problem as you seemed to be preoccupied with PA Bear.

Your Event Viewer report from 4 days ago suggests that the original problem may be resolved. I would need to see a later copy of your Event Viewer System log to see whether there are any remaining problems to be addressed.

You have an unrelated problem highlighted by this report.

Log Name:      System

Source:        Microsoft-Windows-PNRPSvc

Date:          06/10/2014 19:15:11

Event ID:      102

Level:         Error

Description:

The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x80630801.

Solution:

Researched the problem and found the solution. A file was corrupted and deleting it got the PNRP service running.  The file was recreated correctly when the PNRP service started up.  Here's the file for future reference:

"C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst"

    Some fixes are simple and some are not. A large number, the greater majority, of contributors in these forums are volunteers, who are experienced computer users and are not Microsoft employees. All help here is freely given. We can only do our best to help. Our efforts do not always meet with success.
