Can't share files -- Server service won't start

[Jim]

After trying to restart the service, I opened a command
prompt and typed "sc queryex lanmanserver" and got these
results:
SERVICE NAME: lanmanserver
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE : 1 STOPPED
(NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 2001 (0x7d1)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 2001 (0x7d1)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
PID : 0
FLAGS :

I hope that helps.

Thanks
Jim

I wonder why sfc doesn't catch this. Either way your best bet is probably
to get a good copy of srvsvc.dll off the XP disc.

I've been wondering where these corrupted copies of srvsvc.dll were coming
from. I'll try and get a hold of one of these recovery disks and check it
out.

What model HP do you have?

It's been a while since I've done any DOS command line
work, but when I expanded the srvsvc.dl_ from an original
XP disk and copied it over the one in the System32 folder,
the service started working. The srvsvc.dl_ on my HP
recover drive didn't work. So, I'm guessing it's been
corrupt since the original install.

Thanks

At the command prompt, I also ran "sfc/scannow", which did
not return any messages. So, I assume that all the
protected Windows files are intact and in their original
versions.

I've never been able to share files across my home
network
from my XP Home system, but it's never been a problem
because the XP Home system could see the other PCs on
the
network. I just do all the file movement from the XP
machine.

I decided to diagnose the problem today, since I just
bought a laptop that also has XP Home, thinking I might
be
able to swap files and fix the problem. When I looked
through the services, I found the Server service
(LanManServer) was not running, although it was set to
start automatically. When I try to start the service, I
get Error 2001: The Specified Driver is Invalid.

I understand hardware drivers, and know how to figure
out
a problem in device manager. But I don't have a clue
what
driver this error is referring to. Other services
provided by the SVCHOST.EXE file seem to be working fine.

Can anyone provide a clue as to what I should do next?

I would appreciate an e-mail, but will check back here
tomorrow.

Ken,

Sorry to take so long to answer your question. I've been
away from my PC for a few day's of vacation.

My Home PC is an HP Pavillion 752n, with 5GB of the disk
drive partitioned as drive D, labeled HP_RECOVERY. I got
the good copy of SRVSVC.DLL from a Microsoft XP Home CD
that came with a laptop that I purchased for my daughter.
I would have downloaded it from the Microsoft website, if
I knew how to find it there.

Thanks
Jim
