Ive got a rather rare problem that I cannot figure out. On a Windows XP
(with all updates) laptop on an SBS 2003 R2 Domain, out of no where one of
the client laptops shortly after boot; it begins to shut down services. Many
of which include the DHCP service, the Browser service, Windows Firewall, and
MANY other auto start services just stop. So i went in and looked through
the processes, and couldnt find anything that looked like a virus or spyware
running. I then went into services.msc and restarted the critical services
again, but by the time i get to the bottom of the list the ones that i have
just started are already stopping again... Oh and when i get to the one that
says "Windows Firewall" it wont even start, it says "Access Denied".
Furthermore, i have run scans with Trend Micro, which is what i have
installed on the server. It has found nothing at all, nor has windows
defender. The only way i have been able to get rid of the problem was to do
a system restore to a date i knew it was working, but even after that 2 weeks
later it happens again.
Oh and one more thing, for no reason the start bar and other features in
windows will just go to the "legacy" look where windows looks like I'm back
in the Windows 2000 mode.. ANY help would be most appreciated. Thanks.
