Server service starts in paused state

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

TB,

I have just today experienced the same problem with the PC of a friend
of mine running Windows XP Home SP2.
Have you been able to come up with a solution/fix? - If so, any hints
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Wolfgang
