This worked for me when I had the same problem

I still hold that the n"ot able to enable" issue is answered by my original link:
The SharedAccess registry entries need to be rebuilt by copying them from a working machine.
Member linney reminded us all of this thread:

Where if the user had followed the instructions given, the enable was forced.

Ramesh, MS-MVP, bless his heart, offered clear instuctions as to how to rebuild the needed registry entries in my cited link.
