OK -
So I have uninstalled Service Pack 2. I wanted to install it but after two
failed attempts had to remove it so I could continue working0.
Both times it seems to install fine and then when I get into windows all I
get is the desktop picture. I cannot click on the desktop, cannot access any
part of the computer. Extremely odd!
So I unistalled from the add/remove programs but it seems there are bits and
pieces left behind. In the Control Panel there are still icons for;
Security Center ( Just displays settings for automatic updates)
Windows Firewall ( message appears, Due to an unidentified problem, Windows
cannot display Firewall settings)
Wireless Network Setup Wizard (RUNDLL error - Error in wzcdlg.dll Missing
entry: FlashConfigCreateNetwork)
Now, here is the new rub!
When windows starts now it takes forever to get past the welcome to windows
xp screen. I loaded the Event Viewer and noticed several errors.
Source: DCOM Type: Error Event ID: 10005
DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the
service ImapiService with arguments "-Service" in order to run the server:
{520CCA63-51A5-11D3-9144-00104BA11C5E}
We get two of those.
Source: Service Control Manager Type: Error Event ID: 7022
The DCOM Server Process Launcher service hung on starting.
Source: Service Control Manager Type: ERROR Event ID: 7000
The Security Center service failed to start due to the following error:
The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not
implement the service.
Source: Service Control Manager Type: ERROR Event ID: 7026
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
FltMgr
So, does anyone have any ideas.
here is the system info again:
