0	You need Administrator privilege to start a service. Open your command prompt by right clicking the icon and selecting "Run as administrator". link answered 15 May '12, 01:21 grahamb ♦ 4.1k●2●15●64 accept rate: 15%

Answer 2

Error Nr. 5 means: NO ACCESS. Please start the service as administrator using either of these ways:

Elevated DOS prompt

Click the Start button
In the Search box, type command prompt.
In the list of results, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Within that DOS/CMD box run this command

sc start npf

runas
Use runas to start the service in any DOS box.

runas /user:administrator sc start npf
