Things are getting strange

[Guest]

On occasion the machine boots up and the mouse won't work. Sometimes the
keyboard won't work after boot. Sometimes I have a black screen after boot.
Norton is always kept up-to-date. This is a stand alone PC with cable
Internet. I found this in the event viewer:

[[Unable to open the Server service.]]

This will restore the Server Service (lanmanserver).

Start | Run | Type: ncpa.cpl | OK |
Right click Your Connection | Properties |General tab |
Install button | Highlight: Service | Add button |
Highlight: File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks | OK |
Close

Server
[[Used for file and print sharing from your computer or Message Queuing. For
security purposes, you may disable this service if you do not require local
printers and files shared across your network. Connectivity, however, still
exists even on incoming shared network drives. Workstation needs to be
running to connect to another computer that has the files you are looking
for. Note: If you disable File and Print sharing, the Server Service may
disappear from the Services listing. Just enable File and Print sharing
again and the Server Service will return.]]
