JAGO Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Whenever I go Start > Run > "services.msc", I get this: And no services show up (I want to disable the ones that I don't use). Does anyone know a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polster Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Are you logged in as Admin user or just a User account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotse Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 If you type msconfig in Run, one of the tabs there will show the services running and a tick box to stop or start them. I have heard that is not really recommended. I have used this method before without problems, but I may have been lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAGO Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah I'm not going to do it that way . It's not my computer like I said and if I can't do it properly it just won't get done (my buddy is on vacation and asked me to tune up his PC).

fireryone Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sounds like the "Admin" permissions are messed up. You could log in as the "real" administrator to see if you get access then. XP Pro: log off, Press CTRL ALT DEL twice Type Administrator as the username and (hopefully) leave the password blank. XP Home Restart, Press F8 and choose Safe Mode click Administrator fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAGO Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 It still isn't fixed, and it's not a permissions issue :\. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted August 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2007 Have you checked in c/windows/system32 to see that services.msc is still there? Could the file associations be a bit mixed up? If so there is a reg fix for .msc files here. http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2007 It might be worth giving dial a fix a try: http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix Just open up dial a fix, press the green check marks and press go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
