Allows networking with devices that also use UPnP. Routers, some media players, X-box?

This link says to show it as automatic: http://www.tweakhound.com/vista/tweakguide/services.htm#TVSR

But mine shows, Under Description, Failed to…  When I right-click and go to Properties, I get an error message, in the blue title bar is Services and in the box it says:  ¨Configuration Manager, a General Error occurred.  When I click OKAY, I get another error message: The specified image file did not contain a resource section.   I click OK and get no other messages

I had gone to Tweakhound to see what I could disable, automatic, or manual.

Do not know what this means?  Any suggestions?   Thank you.
