xp services not running

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

Hi Jim

From Start>Run type

services.msc

then for each Service that won't run, right click it and select
Properties>Dependecies. Make sure that the Services listed in the top
pane - 'This Service depends on the following system components - are
running.

Hi Jim

You may have to check the Services listed in the top pane as well. I have
to do it here on a Thinkpad every now and again, and it does take some time.
About what % of the Services are 'disabled'?
