Yes. The file/file size and version appears correct. I'm posting the contents of the "AudioEndpointBuilder" service registry entry. Perhaps you can export yours and compare with this one:

If that does not help, you may investigate the service startup problem using Process Monitor utility.

Yes - audiosrv.dll is in C:\Windows\System32
303KB - Version 6.0.6000.16386
Is that okay?
Norman Castel
:
svchost.exe would be present in the system, as most other services need this file. Check if the file audiosrv.dll is present in your system.

Result of scan - "Windows Resurce Protection did not find any integrity
violations."
Restore made many changes but did not fix the problem. I lost many desktop
items which is anything but helpful. Restore is a shotgun approach which, I
feel, should be reserved for system failures.
"C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted" is the
path that Windows Audio Endpoint Builder says it cannot find. Can you tell
me how to restore just that? Is it something that can be extracted from the
installation DVD? I have the Vista Ultimate Upgrade disk that I bought from
Best Buy.
