Services won't start - nothing responds

[Kelly]

Hi Albert,

My youngest son is just out of HS as well and MySpace came way after this
happened! )

However, this is all too much the same. I still remember sitting there
toying with all of the services to figure it out. What I do remember is
that the Plug and Play Service had a lot to do with it. If yours isn't set
to Automatic, do so and then reboot.

Also, without having to re-read this thread to know if I had already
suggested this:

Start/Run/Msconfig - Startup and Services

See what is running during the boot process and what is disabled.

As for HJT - what you need to do is Customize/Configure it. For the
startups that you want, set them to the ignore list. After that, mark all
to be selected.

Well, I have been advised by the good folks at aumha to scrub the drive and
start over. Way too many problems and high probability a lot of stuff hiding
in dark places.
Thanks for all your efforts - I may be posting once I try a Restore because
that is all the eMachines people gave me.
