Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control re

[Guest]

Hello,
I have recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 and imported all my
pictures and arranged them as I want them. That part works fine but in the
program there is or should be a facility for watching folders.
Unfortunately when I try this it tells me that the service is not available.
I have traced this to the program in services in XP which has not been
started. When I try to start it a get the following message:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a
timely fashion
This happens after the progress bar has reached about half way and after
about 30 seconds.
I do not want to reinstall Elements if I can avoid it since I am concerned
that I might lose all the way I have the photos sorted.
The strange thing is that I had Elements installed before a recent Windows
reinstall and the watched folder worked fine. Now it produces this
Windows1503 error notice when I try to start the watched folder via Adobe
Active File Monitor version 5 in Services. Before, I didn't have to bother
about the Active File Monitor anyway it all just worked.
Sorry to go on at length but it is frustrating and I hope someone might be
able to help.
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi nass,
I looked at those links and tried the Adobe suggestion of moving the
Elements installation file to the desktop and installing from there but it
didn't work,
I decided to go for the uninstall and reinstall process.
In fact I had trouble uninstalling as it kept starting Photoshop CS2 which I
have as a try-out version but in the end I managed it it and also to
uninstall CS2.
I have reinstalled Elements with my anti virus program disabled while not
connected to the web and it is now working fine. Not only that but my
pictures and all the folders I had so carefully arranged are still there .
This was my main worry about doing a reinstall but it has worked a treat.
It seems that there was definitely some problem with the original install
and I am very grateful to you for all your help.
All best wishes,
Thanks once again,
John

Hi John,
Try to see the dependencies for this service and start it.
FIX: You receive an "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
control request in a timely fashion" error message when you stop or pause a
managed Windows service
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839174/

Or you could try to uninstall the Photoshop and reinstall while the
Anti-virus if turned OFF and see, may be the first installation wasn't
successful.
HTH.
