i have a PC that im working on, and some how all the services except RPC, RPC Locator and a couple of Windows services have all been disabled. i cant get them to come back up because each time i try, it says i need to have so and so already running, but when i try to load that particular service, it needs another one?!?!


is there a way to restore all the default values for windows services without having to format and or repair ?

Turn on System Restore.

okay ill check that monday, it should be turned on. can a virus or spy/ad-ware do this?

Black Viper's site has a page listing \"out of the box\" settings. I'm assuming XP.
Here is the page;

If you follow the links you will find a default svcs file that you can dl.

i was just thinking about BV. ill try that




belive it or not, I just got a SECOND computer with the EXACT same issue.


i belive these nutjobs for programmers have found a way to do this either by virus or spy/ad ware, the catch is, even System Restore is disabled

use msconfig - its the same tool probably used to disable them in the first place.
