SSDP discovery service not installed

Dear All,

I have Windows 7 - Professional 32 Bit installed on Compaq 420 Machine.

I cannot view other computers on network. So i googled and found out that i need to "turn on network discovery", which in my case does not turn on what ever may I do. Next google told me to look for SSDP Discovery service, but this service is missing from my list of services.

Next I could fine out that installing "netupnph.inf" in win XP helps, but I dont know which is the equivalent inf file for Windows 7?

Please help !!

Run a sfc scan to fix possibly corrupted system files. You'll need to run it 3-4 times, then check if ssdp discovery service is restored.
