Error 5 when trying to start services - logged in as admin..

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

Some driver is conflicting with the service startup. I would try 'verifier'

1) Windows Key + R
2) Type in 'verifier' and hit enter
3) Make sure 'Create Standard Setting' is selected and hit next
4) Click on 'Select all drivers installed on this computer' and hit Finish
5) Reboot

The error "DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION" will create a %windir%/MINIDUMP file that might have the driver name in it.
Rightclick the file to see the file maker's name.
