Cannot Use Any Services / Have No Task Bar / Key Does Not Work
Oct 7, 2007
I cannot use any windows services.I have no task bar, my windows key does not work, I cant add/remove programs, when I try and make a new profile in case this one is messed up I get just a blank box when I click on the user profiles in control panel.In the task manager where it shows user name they are all blank and it shows under users no one is logged on.I cannot transfer files either tried putting stuff I need on a removable drive but they wont copy or drag/drop.
Task scheduler does not appear in the services list. I am logged in under the administrator account and am using Windows XP Professional. Every time I try to start the task scheduler in control panel -> scheduled tasks it says 'Unable to start'. When I try to view the properties of a scheduled task I get error: 0x80041315 (This is a picture of the error. I reinstalled Windows Internet Explorer 7 but it still does not appear in the services list. I also used System file checker but it didn't fix it either. I do not have Task Scheduler listed in the services list. I really don't want to reinstall windows xp...is there some way I can get the Task Scheduler working again? (Also I've selected the Notify of missed tasks option but that doesn't seem to work either)
I'll try to keep this short but I've really never had a problem that I couldn't get around before, and though I've searched all over the net I can't seem to find anyone with these exact problems. Recently installed a new hard drive and dvd burner to my system with Windows XP SP1. Previously had no problems as far as spyware, viruses, etc... Well, these two installed fine and were working fine. A day or two after installing them though, windows told me it would need to reactivate itself due to the configuration change. Did that, went fine, but afterwards I was able to update to service pack 2 and a few other things that never would install properly previously. Very soon after SP2 and the other updates go in, things start acting abnormally and the situation deteriorated quickly.
Eventually I've ended up with two things happening. The first is an error about Services and Controller app. Now I've seen other users with this problem, but some files are a little different, and/or there was no solution.
ive a question about a "Generic host process encountered a problem and finally ive decided to format my hd. reinstalled win xp family, and i noticed that neither my sound nor my video card was working and that i couldn t use usb devices that usually work without drivers. i plugged my internet connection (cable) and then ie always crashed. so i did not manage to download windows updates this way. i decided to active auto-updates, and, a few seconds later, ive seen the message: "Generic host process for win32 services encountered a problem".
Recently i downloaded a program for msn called 'CE/DP STEALER. After i downloaded it , it didnt seem to be working correctly, so i uninstalled it and all of its adds. , now my problem is that the 'CE/DP STEALER' has left loads of past items on my customise notifications. what i mean by this is that when you right click on the taskbar, and then click properties, i go to the taskbar tab, and then i click on customise.I see that the CE/DP STEALER has left alot of rubbish in my past items. Is there anyway of getting rid of all this?
HELP Ctrl+Alt+Delete Wont Work I just recently tried to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete but it wouldn't work. I haven't recently installed anything I tried enabling everything from msconfig. Ctrl+Alt+Delete is supposed to be your last resort, the thing that always works, the last trick up your sleeve, the best weapon you have...but now it doesn't work.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A45-S121 running Home XP Service Pack 2.Computer just started to not shutdown. Tried normal shut down from Start also tried Windows Task Manager shutdown neither work.I have to pull battery to shut it down.
My computer was recently infected with adware, spyware & some viruses. I have downloaded and run Ad-Aware, Symantec Antivirus, Spybot, Registry Mechanic & HijackThis. When I try to run Regedit, I get an error message telling me:regedit is not a valid Win32 application
Thanks for your help.
Here is my HijackThis Log:

idle system process is running constatly in the task manager i have tryed to run anti virus *after updating* running adaware se personal *after updating* still the idle system process is constantly runing and wont stop. i tryed to end task that wont work
I am using Windows XP professional, service pack 2, on all machines. If I check "minimize on use", select an application in the "Applications" tab, and click "Switch to", it does not switch to that application but opens another window instead. I have this problem on 3 of the 4 machines I normally use. Can anyone tell me of a configuration setting that changes this behavior? The only difference between the machine that works and the ones that don't is how they connect to the network. The machines with the problem are on my home network connected through a workgroup.
when I click on task manager it only shows the running task window. it used to have a list of all startup stuff and a thing where I could look at a graph of cpu usage, but those are not there anymore
on starting up pc the task bar freezes for approx 15mins & only the egg timer is showing, can access desktop icons, however not all programs launch on task bar. what appears to be the issue, is it hardware or software
I am trying to create a task using Task Scheduler, and it asks me to "set account information". I am given three boxes. One of them, marked Run as has "COMPUTERJesse" already filled in. The other two are marked Password and Confirm Password. This is odd, because I am running under an Admin account (yes, generally not smart, but I'm smarter than the average bear when it comes to computers, so I feel confident I'm not going to mess it up with downloading viruses and such
I clicked OK to get out of the "Set Account Information" box, and in the entry for my task, the Status is listed as "Could not Start", Last Result is "0x0", and Creator is "Jesse". how can I get Task Scheduler to run the task and most of all, obey my authori-tah?
I recently downloaded some media files and straight after my computer slowed down to a crawl and then would not respond. The mouse pointer remains active but i cannot click on anything succesfully. The task bar and task manager do not respond at all, i can open files saved on my desktop but cannot do anything when they're open and cannot close them again. I reset my PC a number of times but this did not solve the problem. I assume this is a virus or spyware problem but could it possibly be anything else?
You know how after you end a program using End Task in Task Manager, it asks you if you want to tell Microsoft about the problem? I was able on my other XP system to change an option somewhere so it doesn't ask me that any more. I just can't remember how I did it.
At times, I have this problem.When I tries to "End Task" of some program, Windows Task manager refused.The same will happen to Process Viewer that comes with Norton SystemWorks
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".
okay at first this wasn't too anoying but now it is a major problem at first it was just that when i went to windows update it would get stuck in the thing where it says that it is checking for the latest updates.to try and solve this issue i did these things:i ran windows update for 3 days straight and didn't do anything on my computer (it was stuck in the screen i mentioned before)i reinstalled windows, but for some reason the problem carried over a friend of mine told me about windows defender and that it was free, so i installed it and behold it uses windows to update and im stuck with the bare bones of the program.
Everytime I connect to the internet, any application I start which uses the connection doesn't work or is really slowed down util I end 'svchost.exe network services in task manager' How do I fix this? I 'm running windows xp service pack 2 with a broadband dsl connection
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 am having problems with my shared printer. I do not use a local area connection for anything except just printing, but it appears I disabled a service i shouldn't have to get it working.
Dell XPS T450, 576 MBWindows XP Pro OSI'm trying to make some startup changes using msconfig.exe and services.msc from the run command line. Despite running under an administrator login, I get a message to the effect that I don't have administrator privileges to run these commands.
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
Just wondering if anyone knows why hijackthis reports many services as missing? When they are loaded and present (as far as I can tell) This is Windows XP x64
