ERROR 56: THE CISCO SYSTEMS, INC. *** SERVICE HAS NOT BEEN STARTED

ny3259

　　On some systems there is this problem with Cisco *** service: c***d.exemust be excuted before you run the ipsecdialer.exe ( the GUI for the client ). But even if you start the service per hand in services.msc, it got killed in a few seconds after thus you can not run the client.
　　Update: thanks to Zhigang Wu we now only need to disable the Internet Connection Sharing service (also in services.msc), turn it fromAutomatically starting to Manual, and start the Cisco service. It will not be killed again. The registry method becomes obsolete and is only recommended as a last resort as it’s dangerous and may cause you problems.
　　To work around this problem: Uninstall Cisco *** in Windows Control Panel, then go to regedit and remove all the entries have Cisco term in them. Be careful, back up the registry with built-in export function of regedit first and do not delete somethings like “Franscisco”, ok ? Some entries can not be deleted, it’s normal, just F3 until you reach the end of the registry.

　　这一般是服务没有启用的问题，如果服务启用后会自动停止，检查一下Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)服务是否启用，如果启用试着把这个服务停止，再启动Cisco Systems, Inc. *** Service服务；如果ICS没有启用或仍然无法解决，就卸载客户端并重装，一般使用自动卸载并清除注册表信息，以下是手工卸载的方法：
　　(1)打开regedit
　　(2)删除HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Cisco Systems > *** Client
　　(3)删除HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Deterministic Networks
　　(4)删除HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Uninstall > {5624c000-b109-11d4-9db4-00e0290fcac5}.
　　(5)删除HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > RunOnce > CISCOREBOOTFLAG
　　(6)在任务管理器，关掉c***d.exe进程
　　(7)删除安装目录（C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\*** Client；C:\Program Files\Common Files\Deterministic Networks）
　　(8)删除旧的DNE文件（%systemroot%\system32\drivers\dne2000.sys;%systemroot%\inf\dne2000m.inf及dne2000m.pnf;%systemroot%\system32\dneinobj.dll）
　　(9)删除%systemroot%\system32\drivers\c***drv.sys和c***drva.sys
　　(10)重启机器，取消发现新硬件的安装；
　　(11)将system32目录下CSGina.dll重命名CSGina.old;
　　(12)重启机器，安装最新版本的Cisco *** Client;
　　【注意：进行以上操作后，如果仍然失败，那要删除临时文件setup.exe，再删除Deterministic Network Enhancer：删除或不勾选本地连接中的 Deterministic Network Enhancer】
