HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...Run Folder Loading Services Randomly?
Apr 3, 2007
I run Sygate Firewall and I've always had it set to block all network activity until the service is loaded. It used to be the first thing that loaded, but a while ago after installing other programs, it started loading last. I know the order in which registry folders run their keys, but do keys within the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...Run folder load their services randomly? If so, is there a way that I can set the order by which these start so that Sygate starts up first thing after I log in? I can think of a way to do this by deleting all the registry keys except one that will call a batch file to load all the other keys, but that's not really what I'm looking to do.

I use Windows 2K, my computer randomly reboots saying that SERVICES.EXE has been terminated and will restart the computer in 60 seconds. If you switch the time back, it says "will reboot in 365 day." I have a question, is this a virus, or is my computer just stupid?

I'm experiencing some strange behaviour with my XP SP2 PC. This morning I ran microsoft update, and saw that 2 security patches hadn't been installing for about a month. I decided to boot into safe mode to try and get them, but then it asked me to reactivate windows, which I did over the phone and now all fine on that front.
However, the problem I'm now having is that certain services aren't loading when XP loads. For example, the desktop appearance, along with windows explorer, for example, looks like it's win98, i.e. no fischer price look, just plain old grey boxes. Also, the network services aren't loading so I can't get online with my router. Another: when I try opening help and support, I get the following message: Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running. To fix this problem, start the service names 'Help and Support'.I'm not running in safe mode, and msconfig shows me as being in normal start up - load all drivers and services. In the services tab there are only 4 services running, which I'm pretty sure is seriously fewer than any machine running normally.
Unfortunately I can't run system restore: for some reason it's only got two saved in total, one that I did about 10 minutes ago, and another system one, about 15 minutes before that. Fortunately, NOD32 seems able to load, and a scan reveals no viruses. One more crucial thing: after I initially went to msconfig to arrange a safe boot on next boot (I have a usb keyboard so can't f8), I got a blue screen of death. So perhaps some boot files have become corrupted?

I have a recurring problem on Folder Views / Folder Types that has been bugging me for a long time. You can customize a folder with a "folder type" - Documents, Pictures, Music, Video, etc - which comes with a default view and a list of default attributes most relevant to the type (artist and album title for music, dimension for video, etc). You can also setup so that the settings are "memorized". However, the memory seems to be quite short term for some of my folders. They tend to randomly reset themselves and there seems to be a consistent but unrecognizable pattern. For example, my "My Documents" folder is always changed to a pictures folder, while some of my music folders are changed to video

I have loaded Actiontec from Qwest to activate modem for DSL. Ever since doing this, Wndows (any progam I may be running) freezes. It only happens when I am online. I can hook back up to my phone line, and everything runs fine. I am also running Norton Internet Security 2005. I am using Norton's firewall, not Windows. I have been tested by Qwest, and all my lines and connections show good or in working order with their system. So I am wondering where to start checking in Windows setups or preferences. Where do I begin to look for problems or conflicts.

I got a new motherboard installed because my old one fried itself and the pc was reformatted and windows was reinstalled. Since then, it was working fine. The start-up time had also lowered considerably and it was working perfectly for once.One thing that's been happening for a while, my computer started taking longer to start-up. I figured it was just all the programs etc I have installed. Then, I have this one external drive that I got connected internally. There were times where it wouldn't recognize this drive; it wouldn't show up on My Computer. Otherwise, it was perfectly fine. one of my most important drives (E) has been missing for the last 2 days. it hasn't shown up even once and i'm really worried i've lost data and need to recover it.

After removed serveral spywares, I cannot launch the services.msc (Computer management still fine, but not service page) along with "Help and support" from start menu. Also pressing F3 key in Explorer for "Find" function with result close down of explorer.exe.They seems startup for a split second and then close itself without notice. My guess is it has something to do with HTML/DHTML pages.

I have installed multiple VPN softwares on my Windows XP SP2 these months to access my corporate network, and they seemed work fine, but, may be, some of them were not compatible with XP SP2. I recently started wireless networking as well, and I thought some VPN softwares disturbed my wireless networking sometimes and I have decided to uninstall those VPN softwares.I had some difficulties to uninstall them, but at last I have uninstalled them. Now, I cannot see "IPSEC Services" in my services window at all. I can see "lsass.exe" under C:WINDOWSsystem32 directory. However, I do not know how to re-create "IPSEC Services".

Just wondering. When I set BITS, Background Intelligent Transfer Service to automatic & started using services.msc, after a while, maybe days later, it goes back to manual & stopped. When I look at http://www.theeldergeek.com/background_intelligent_transfer_service.htm it seems to suggest that I could set it either way. Since I never seem to get windows update automatically, although I do get them manually, I just wanted to try this setting to see if it would work for me. . Running win xp pro, sp2, dell dimension 2350, 1 GB mem, 2.0 GHz, cable modem. Usually run daily auto scans with MSAB & AVG7. Also have AdawareSE, Spybot, Spyware Blaster.

I have a Toshiba tablet PC XP2;It boots up very slowly and I have narrowed down issue to two services which
when enabled cause the problem.Workstation and Network Location awareness services.When disabled, the machine boots fine. But is useless unless the services are started manually.

The last couple of days, my computer randomly gives me an error messages that says SERVICES.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.You will need to restart the program.An error log is being created.Then, a shut down box pops up that tells me my computer will shut down in one minute... and there's a timer on there that counts down and when the minute is up, my computer shuts itself down and restarts.I've run Adaware, Spybot S&D, SuperAntiSpyware, and cleared my temporary internet files, etc. It's still doing it, and it's getting on my nerves because I can't get ANY work done. It's doing this like ever 30 minutes or hour or so.

When I start my laptop, there are 4 pop-up windows saying: "Windows cannot find 'C:DOCUME~1MYNAME~1LOCALS~1services.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." "Could not load or run 'C:DOCUME~1MYNAME~1LOCALS~1services.exe' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry." "Windows cannot find 'C:WINDOWSSystem egedit.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
"Could not load or run 'C:WINDOWSSystem egedit.exe' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry." In addition, there is an icon at the botton of my screen that says SQL Server Service Manager: "Stopped - \YOUR - some numbers - MSSQLServer". What do these all mean? I've tried antivirus software

I just want to be able to remove some photos and documents and then I can wipe the HD clean and start over.I have used Safe Mode to try and return the Services to their Defaults, but I'm not being allowed to do anything that would help me, either when I log on as myself or I log on as adminstrator, the only 2 users of this computer. My connection to the internet is via satellite, and I assume that company has Permissions to also change Services.

For some reason, my services.exe file on my computer is hogging my CPU, usually holding around 70% of my CPU usage. I'm not sure at all why this is happening. I recently installed a Kensington Bluetooth adapter, could that be the problem? I started having this problem a few days ago, about 5 days after I installed the adapter...

I have been having problems with .msi and other Windows Installer files. The first problem was based BITS not being enabled in the services.msc - and thus it was fixed. Some msi files, such as Apple iTunes updates and the simple usage of Windows Defender, are hindred unless I manually open services.msc via Run, then start Windows Installer Service; which has been set to start with the startup, and to do so automatically.I don't know why it's failing to start, but it is.

I have had the Fax services running fine on my computer before, however just recently I had to reinstall my printer drivers and for some reason the installed Fax also disappeared. In the Add Windows Components screen, the tick is now missing from Fax services. If I tick the box, it looks like it is installing the Fax services software, however on going back into the Add Windows Components screen the tick is still missing and I cannot install a Fax.

My pc is behaving quite randomly. I have this new page appearing as a wallpaper on my desk, saying stg like "your pc is infected by spyware blabla, sign here...", and besides, when I check into my task manager, I have a lot of .exe starting and stopping randomly and constantly, so my cpu is constantly between 60% and 100%. This is the main pb, but of course, there are several others, like the pc shutting down and restarting without notice, a front page "about blank" that I cannot change when I start internet explorer a.s.o
I ran the Ad-aware 6.0, Spybot S&D, CWS, but nothing helps

This has been going on for a couple of months now.The PC would just reboot all of a sudden, usually when we pop in a CD in the drive, or log on to another user account. When we try to turn the PC on, it takes about 5-10 reboots before it goes on to the Windows logo (or whatever you call that). I'm worried that it might be a virus. I tried Trend Micro's Online scan and left it for a while only to find that the PC reboot in the middle of it, and now, I can't get the scanner to work anymore (I keep getting this error message.) Also, to be honest, we usually leave the PC on for days on end, so overheating might not be so out of the question. Aside from overheating, I just wanna know what else we have to troubleshoot for regarding this problem? Is it possible that a virus is causing it? That's all, I just need a troubleshooting checklist.
