When I attempt to start stopped services, ThinkVantage task scheduler, in the Task Manager on a Thinkpad R61i with Vista, an error message says "Access Denied". If I try to start the services from Control Panel > Administrative
Tools > Services, the PC hangs.
The Windows Event Log service does not start even though it is set for AUtomatic load. It will not even start when I go into Services and try to start it manually. The error message is: Windows could not start the Windows Event Log Service on Local Computer. Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. The Network connection the Internet does not start at boot time. Instead I have to click Diagnose & Repair and then click Restart the DHCP client service. Then it works.................
View 6 Replies View Relatedhow to make a batch file where you could start, disable, stop and manual for a service from the command prompt? for example instead of going to services.msc and right clicking on a service then clicking on properties then making the startup to be manual,automatic or disable. I could do with a batch file where i would just launch the batch file and it would make the startup to manual and then disable the service that i want to disable.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista Home, 32 bit, with SP2.
I turned on my laptop, and there was no wireless internet. Turns out a lot of important services have stopped and I cant turn them on.
They include:
DHCP Client
Diagnostic Policy Service
IPsec Policy Agent
Network List Service
Network Location Awareness
Office Source Engine
Windows Firewall
Windows Time
I managed a workaround by defining an IP manually to my wireless card, and at least it connected to the internet, but DHCP is still stopped. So is the Diagnostic service, so the "repair button" wont work either.
When I go to services and try to start them, I get the error, "Access is denied", or "The dependency service or group failed to start".
My Network sharing centre is saying the same thing. Firewall is also disabled, error is "Security centre cant turn on windows firewall"...
2 weeks ago I've installed fresh new copy of Vista x64 ultimate sp1 and downloaded all critical updates. From time to time I got BSODs randomly + windows continues to spam me with message error message "Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed" - in event log it appeares as
"Faulting application svchost.exe_iphlpsvc, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919291, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791adec, exception code 0xc0000374, fault offset 0x00000000000a6e97, process id 0xde8, application start time 0x01c965d5d7c709ab."
After getting this message my window appearance changes for aero to half-aero-half-classic style and language icon diappeares from taskbar (and hotkey alt+shift stoppes wirking too - can't swich from default language ). I've tried to chnage language bar settings from Control Panel (Floating/Docked/Hidden) does nothing. Only restart brings things to normal, but after unpredictable period of time it happens again.
I loaded Oblivion The Elder Scrolls IV Game of the Year Edition on Windows Vista but it will not run. The game's main menu comes up when the disc is inserted but when I click play a small blank window opens with Oblivion as the title and another information box opens stating that Oblivion has stopped working. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic Version 6.0.
View 5 Replies View RelatedLike tons of other people, I've been getting lots of those "Host services have stopped working. You will be notified if a solution is found" messages. You are forced to close the box....no other option is available. The result of this is that my internet connection slows to a crawl. I post the actual error log in the forum of the program that crashed. Apparently the problem is with "Windows Management Instrumentation"....and I have no idea where a forum for that resides. So I'm hoping a solution can be found here. Here is the log that gets generated.

I am unsure what to set as manual, disable, or, automatic?
I've noticed that Vista has a lot more background services running than XP does and one of my pet peeves is to see a crap load of services running and knowing I don't need all of them but not knowing which one's I don't need.
Could anyone tell me if there are some common services that I can stop from loading up that will not affect Vista?
key services I wouldn't touch myself aren't running and I can't start them - it's not just the iSCSI service that I spotted first, it is also the Event Log, Task
Scheduler... god knows that else! Decided I would do a System Restore but the only restore point available is this morning (9 Feb) and no further back I can't retore to a known good point before the issue occurred. There's 20GB free on the System disk (System Restore is enabled - there is ONE restore point!), so why only one restore point available?.......
I've been going crazy on this machine. It was brought to me by someone who thought they had some "RedDwarf" virus. So I took a look at the machine. Could not find any bugs spyware, virus or worms on the machine. I was able to locate in the event log, that when they were trying to use thier 2wire installation disk because they could not get online, a RedDwarf program listed as being part of Motive Software... I belive they do the programming for 2Wire. Anyway.... it was installed in compatiblity mode... after rebooting the machine.. this is what happens...
When booting normally to the desktop.. desktop loads, AIM loads, no network of any kind. Only a handfull of services start RPC, COM+, DCOM, SENS, GroupPolicy, User Profile, Software Licensing, and a few more... and I mean a few. No other services will start on the computer. I have used system restore going back almost 2 months with the same effect. I can only get........
Does anybody know how I can set a scheduled restart to occur regularly overnight.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI used to use this site when I had XP to know which services I could turn off safely, and I wondered whether this is still a good site to go to for such things (ie Vista), I only ever used it to try to get that extra bit of oomph out of the PC and by and large it helped a fair bit. I still have loads listed in the Task Manager Processes, and am unsure what I can stop and what I should leave well alone Or is there a guide here for such things? has anyone else used Black Vipers site? or should I keep my distance?

View 5 Replies View RelatedVista Enterprise x86 - installed - running on a Windows 2000 AD domain... runs fine for about 30-45 days then just stops working on the network. Diagnostic Policy Service just fails-the associated DLL service fails and won't start for lack of "sufficient rights/access denied". Anyone have any insight other than rebuild the box? I am going to ensure to place it in a container that doesn't receive any GPO policies, but how do I know/find out what is causing this to occur?
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust trying to startup my laptop but all it is doing is showing the green bar going forward and nothing else happens, I can boot into safe mode ok and have also tried last known good config and booted from the Vista disk to do a restore, but still doesn't work.
I have also gone into msconfig and disable all non microsoft services and everything in startup.
Since getting the new machine, I have had continuing problems with keeping my extra dvd drive and HDDs operating (Code 43). After getting that solved I started experiencing problems with the HDDs not starting (Code 10). The dvd drive is always recognized, starts fine and stays running. Now my HDDs either will not start or aren't recognized. On the HDDs that don't start, I get a Code 10 error.....with a little more diagnostics I get an error message that Windows can load the driver software, but the software encounters a problem when trying to run. The driver is a Windows driver 6.0.6001.18000, not a third party driver.
I have extensively verified that ALL my hardware is Vista 64 bit compatible, is operating properly, all my drivers are up to date, all cables are tight, etc. In short, I have proven that this is not a hardware failure. I have even had one dvd and one HDD connected (on different Oxford boards) and operating correctly, but after an overnight reboot, the HDDs cannot be started because of the driver software problem.
The drive manufacturer, Western Digital, refuses to support EIDE drives connected via bridsgeboards to Firewire. The computer manufactuerer (HP) is equally clueless and their Tech Support doesn't even seem to understand the problem. They cop-out by saying it's a Microsft problem. And because Vista is pre-loaded, I don't have OEM disks to try a clean install....I can only do a System Restore.
A program can't display a message on your desktop
this comes up when i click on: show me the message:
Runtime error
This program has requested the runtime to end in an unusal way.
windowsSMINSTBLService.exe
how can I get this annoying persistent nuisance to stop coming up?
I was dragged kicking and screaming into Vista and truthfully am almost liking it (or not hating it as much as I thought I would).
HOWEVER, this is the kinda crap that will make me regret it.
I have tried just about everything to resolve this. Running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit and this occurs anytime I try to browse for computers or printers.
Network is set to "Private"
Network discovery "On"
File Sharing "On"
Firewall "Disabled"
LLTD "Installed"
I have read that I need to setup a DNS server, however, I never did this in XP and never had a problem browsing for computers/hardware. What am I missing? What services are necessary for AD?
Does anyone know of a list of unnecessary services that can be turned off without harm--and speed up startup/opeation? I already have done a TrueImage restore one time and do not want to go through it again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedJust just got the new Portal Demo through Steam. When I launch the game it starts for a few seconds then it crashes. Windows tells me that hl2.exe has a conflict, stopped working and has to close. It goes on to say that Windows will notify me if there is a solution. But unfortunatly there is none.
Here`s what I tried----------Here are My Specs:
Updated Video drivers--------Vista Home Premium 64 Bit
Disabled UAC---------------- XFX 8800GTS 320x2 in SLI Mode
Updated Direct X-------------XFX 680i Motherboard
Disabled Virus Program--------4x1 Gigs of Crucial Dual Sided Memory
Disabled Firewall--------------PC2(6400) 800MGHZ
Updated Bios-----------------Samsung 500 Gig HDDx2
There are alot of people having trouble with this Portal game. Some say to disable Services. Some say certain virus programs have to be completely uninstalled. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it while having similar specs as me?
How do you turn off mobsync it makes my pc lose smoth performance. And tryed offline files and it still comes on. As in XP you had wireless zero config and turned it off and make my games not lag. But in vista it shuts down your internet when you shut it off. I want to stop the lag spikes while i play games.
And yes i know wireless isent for gaming but we have a dosen pc's here and dont have a finance to have cords all over the place it's a 2 story home with 8 pc's and 4 laptops so i just want a way to stop the wireless from resetting every 60 seconds. Make it every 6 hours if i can.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a bit of a luddite but i've been trying to get less services to start when i start my computer and thus Vista, and have inadvertantly now turned off my audio services (remarkably, even after turning off loads of other things, this seems to be the only thing that has changed). I can't tell from my active services list (after doing msconfig) which one is affecting my audio. I've made sure the obvious ones are still ticked, of course. Is there anyone who could give me an idea of which one should be ticked in order for the audio service to come back on? I'm loathe to start them all back up again to try and find out...
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I start my laptop up, just normally, I log in. I have that thing where I have to log in using a username and password, something that I downloaded and put into my registry. Anyway, all the time, when I log in, it takes forever to load up, it just stays as welcome and doesnt load. I left it for half an hour and it still hadnt loaded! So, I turned it off and on again, and it worked. But, a couple of times, I had to turn it off and on about 5 times ,and when it didnt load, I had to start it again in safe mode. THEN it worked. But, I hate safe mode!

I have got a wireless mouse but have always used it, I have tried unplugging it, but to no avail. I have also tried a selective startup with only microsoft programs on startup, but still no joy.
When I try to re-start Windows, the computer shuts down and try to start but instead beeps three times and don't start, then I have to press the power button to shut it down and wait about 10 minutes before starting again.
I have Windows Vista x64 on an Asus P6T Deluxe Intel X58 motherboard with 12GB RAM and an Intel i7 Extreme processor 965 with a Sceptre widescreen 22" monitor and a Thermaltake V1 cooling Fan with 800 watts power supply
Earlier today my computer had updates to intall so i clicked to install updates and shut down. This evening when I went to turn on my computer it said that iy had to run disk chk as it did this it said that file after file was corrupt and repairing this took a few minutes. After this the normal log in screnn appeared. I clicked on my name typed in my password then the screen went black and the pop up went as follows
Windows Activation
Reinstall Windows
Windows must be reinstalled to activate. Insert the windows installation DVD or CD into your computerto begin the reinstallation process.
I placed the cd in and nothing happened. I then started in safe mode and tried a system restore, but then I found I have no system restore points anymore. I tried to start with last known good start up but the same message appeared. I do not want to have to do a clean install as I have important work on my computer which isn't backed up.
I just installed a new video card MSI NX8800GT on a new Packard Bell that came with Vista pre-installed. I checked power supply which was sufficient (400w). Everything went smoothly also when installing the drivers which came on an MSI CD. When restarting the PC he blocked when he was on the desktop screen. After that it has been impossible to restart the pc. He blocks even before he starts uploading vista.
