Services

[Kevin]

Dear NG

Reformatted, WinXP Pro, P4 2.4

I can't access "Services" from the "Administrative Tools" folder. I get the
following Error message:
Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name:<unknown>
CLSID:{58221C66-EA27-11CF-ADCF-00AA00A80033}

After I click "OK" the "Services" window opens with "Snap-in Creation
Failed" in the right hand pane where the services are usually listed.

I've tried copying the Services.msc file from the XP CD to Windows/System32.

I really want to shut down the unnecessary services so any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks randy,
I tried that link and although it exactly describes the problem I'm having
it didn't resolve it.
I also tried
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826282&Product=winxp
it too didn't help.

I ended up reinstalling XP as a Upgrade to my existing XP installation and
that so far has resolved the "Services" snap-in issue.

Thanks again.

Kevin
