Couldn't change the status for windows Services
Posted by Prasad on February 7th, 2004


I have HP Pavillion desktop PC, Windows 2000 Professional
OS..

Recently, it's taking lot of time to start the OS.. so I
disabled some services like Remote Registry Service,
Remote Procedure Call, Windows Installer etc.,(from
Control Panel --> Admin Tools) inorder to bootup my
machine fast. However, things went differently and seems
to be a disaster..

-- I could able to surf on Internet but unable to login
to hotmail / yahoo.
-- Add / Remove Programs page is blank
-- geting errors -- Failed to load Local language module
-- Could not copy/cut and paste a file.. all functions
disbaled.

So I thought, I should change back all the services which
I changed to 'disable status' back to normal, However, I
could not change it to 'Manual' or 'Automatic' as the
property window is not opening from Services.

When I tried to start some services, it's giving another
error 'Error 1068 The dependency service or group failed
to start'

Any help is appreciated for giving advice..at
ppothuri@hotmail.com

Thanks
Prasad

Two options;
1.) restore the registry from the backup you made.
2.) from the recovery console for each service;
enable "service name" service_auto_start
