A few days ago when coming onto the desktop I would not be able to use RUN or get into the Control Panel. This does not happen all of the time, and to temporary fix the problem, I need to at least go with one, or more, reboots are needed. I checked in the Event Viewer and seen the error. I right-clicked and went to its properties. It states: "The SAVRTPEL service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified." I clicked on the for more information link and below is what it has to say. How to correct this situation as clearly as you can state. COPY/FROM HELP & SUPPORT LINK
I HAVE WINDOWS 2000 i went to control panel to remove a program an my programs are there but when i click on the program i want to remove its not giving me a choice to remove it or nothing
I've done a lot of searching around, and have found that my problem has occured rarely, but never have I been able to find an answer.As you are well aware, several older computers have compatibility issues with SP2. Mine is one of them. However, it has SP2 installed.The solution is obviously to remove SP2. However, if I go through the normal means of doing this (Add/Remove Program under the Control Panel, or using the run command listed in Microsoft's website), I get this strange error:"Bosnian (Latin, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is selected as the language for standards and forms, or for non-Unicode programs. This language is not supported prior to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Please see readmesp.htm to select a different language."

This is my first post here and I have tried to search for the answer to my problem for two days, I hope you can help me.I have windows xp Home edition. When after I boot up my computer, I get to the desktop and it seems to take a few minutes before I can run any programs. When I check the system event log I get this error: error: 700 The SAVRTPEL service failed to start due to the following error:The system cannot find the file specified.When I did an sc query it came up with error code:2 don't have Norton anything (works or virus) loaded on my computer and I never did have it loaded.
Initially while on XP Home 1Service Pack I was able to cancel any task running shown in the Task Manager window (alt-ctrl-del). About three weeks ago I started getting "unable to terminate process" message when trying to cancel a SYSTEM task (i.e. javaw). This is still the case. I have since installed the SP2 on my PC.My logon is as an administrator and has been all along. I did not change any settings that could have caused this problem.Is there a setting that I am overlooking that controls this ability?
For some reason when I go to Control Panel before it opens I get the message :An ERROR Occurred While Windows was working with the Control Panel File. C:WINDOWSSystem32Netsetup.cpl. I Googled it an found I could resolve it by RUN>MsConfig>Start Up and Unchecking IPMon32.So I just like to know exactly what this is and if it can cause any probs.by disabling it.

I can not get a photo or anything other than a "color" to be my desktop wallpaper. When I am in the control panel - display - the only buttons that are active are the "browse" and "color" buttons. The "position" button does not work. I can't even get one of the Windows backgrounds to display. The photo I choose to use is there somewhere because it is visible briefly when I start mycomputer. Then it disappears and is replaced by a "color" only screen.This is a very recent problem. I'm guessing some settings are incorrect.
I accidently posted this in "Vista" so I'm reposting it here as the operating system I have is XP Professional. I'm having a problem with "Display" in the Control Panel. Yesterday I visited a website and opened a file. After I did that, my wallpaper changed and it appeared to be whatever the website was. I was able to somehow get it off (don't ask me what I did, I couldn't tell you). Now, when I click on "Display" in the Control Panel and go to "Desk Top", the only thing that I can change is the color and I can also click on "Customize Desktop", but I cannot change the background or click on browse...".
When I try to open "Control Panel" it gives me an error dialog box that says Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. "Control Panel" has been taking longer and longer to load, but now it just stops. Running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
