Error Messages Received

[Rebecca]

I've been having problems with my Acer Aspire 3624WXCi laptop for quite
awhile now. I've spent many nights reading, learning and pretty much
dissecting ANY and EVERY probable cause(s) that would apply here.

After cleaning up then, removing the obvious malware, after researching my
Errors and Warnings in the System and Application logs in my Event Viewer, I
believe I've finally got one pinpointed to this very issue.

I've got EXACTLY the same Symptoms/Error Messages/Event ID 7023, etc., but
with a slight twist;

Instead of the "Windows 2000/Task Scheduler not running" scenario addressed
: "Error message when you use Computer Management after you upgrade the
computer to Windows Server 2003: "Snap-in failed to init." - I've got
Windows XP Home Edition, and have NO Task Manager. Can't find 'm anywhere.
I've searched for the past couple weeks along with digging deep here at MS
Help/Support for a solution.

I'm hoping this will work for XP but I'm not about to do anything drastic
unless I'm able to get feedback on this. Some kind of confirmation that this
is possible. Any advice would be most appreciative.

Meanwhile, whilst I wait, there's a couple other things on my pc that need
my attention first.

Does anyone relate to this? Can ANYone help?

Please post an exact copy of the Event Viewer error report.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Rebecca. Comments are inline.

I've been having problems with my Acer Aspire 3624WXCi laptop for
quite awhile now.

What kind of problems have you been having?

I've spent many nights reading, learning and pretty
much dissecting ANY and EVERY probable cause(s) that would apply here.

After cleaning up then, removing the obvious malware, after
researching my Errors and Warnings in the System and Application logs
in my Event Viewer, I believe I've finally got one pinpointed to this
very issue.

Again, what is the issue?

I've got EXACTLY the same Symptoms/Error Messages/Event ID 7023,
etc., but with a slight twist;

Exactly the same as *what*? Remember, no one here knows what you are
referring to except yourself! Please feel free to post a link to
whatever it is you are referencing.

Instead of the "Windows 2000/Task Scheduler not running" scenario
addressed in Article ID 935641
computer to Windows Server 2003: "Snap-in failed to init." - I've got
Windows XP Home Edition, and have NO Task Manager. Can't find 'm
anywhere. I've searched for the past couple weeks along with digging
deep here at MS Help/Support for a solution.

I see you posted the full report to Gerry:

Again, it would be helpful to know the context of what you exact issue
is! For starters, you can look here to see if anything might apply:

http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=7023&eventno=345&source=Service Control Manager&phase=1

I'm hoping this will work for XP but I'm not about to do anything
drastic unless I'm able to get feedback on this. Some kind of
confirmation that this is possible. Any advice would be most
appreciative.

Meanwhile, whilst I wait, there's a couple other things on my pc that
need my attention first.

And what other things need attention first? You need to tell us these
things!

Also, it's generally a good idea to furnish the following:

- Make and model of PC (thanks for doing this)

- Flavor of XP (e.g., Home, Pro, or MCE)

- SP level

- Amount of RAM installed

- Size of hard drive and amount of free space (and if there's more than
one partition, let us know the breakdown of each)

- The complete text of any error messages

- Whether or not you are running any antimalware programs or suites, and
if so, which ones

Finally, you had asked about Task Manager. *Everyone* running XP can
bring up Windows Task Manager by pressing these three keys
simultaneously: Control + Alt + Delete.
