file print sharing not working

Hi everyone,
Sharing is not working at all on my Vista machine. Whenever I change the "Network File and Printer Sharing" to allow sharing of the printers and Public folders, the settings always reverts back to turned off. When I attempt to share a folder of printer the share never gets created. The only error I get is if I attempt to create the share through the properties of the folder and select "Advanced Sharing". The error contains the following text:
"An error occurred while trying to create share Test. There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.
The shared resource was not created at this time."
What am I missing here? Have I turn something of I shouldn't have? Please help.
Chris.

I am having a similar problem too. I have an old Window 98 which I trying to reconnect to the network printer through the main computer which as now been installed with Windows Vista. My notebook computer has Windows XP Pro and I was able to add & create a printer through the same computer computer in order to print from my notebook computer. Before I can rule out any possibility that maybe windows 98 machine doesn't have the program capabilities to connect to vista? Please let me know.
Thanks
