At first, I’d like to say it was my fault. It was a normal update for Vista that required reboot. after reboot, a service tried to update some registry keys and Mcafee poped-up a message to ask permission. It was supposed to choose ALLOW. but the fault is that I selected BLOCK, and the disaster happened.

After few minutes, I restarted the system, and I noticed that the startup is very slow, and no activity is happening. After the long login, a message appeared saying Windows Cannot Connect with Windows Service, with some long text containing System Event Notification Service.

Windows Update not working, Event Log not Working, System Restore not Working, and even Boot from Last Working Configuration Startup option is also not working. Creating new account (Administrator) is also not working. nothing is almost working !!!

Oh, Internet connection is also not working, Network connection is disabled !!!

After some long search on internet, here is the solution:
Start-> SEARCH for cmd -> press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER (to run as admin) and type netsh winsock reset

Simply, the problem was solved !!!
