default settings... I was messing aroung with stopping..
disabling some services and now there is an issue with my
computer...

The easiest this would be to restore but I am not sure hot
to do this..

Thanks,

You'll need to enumerate through the list of specific services that you
disabled by name from the recovery console command line or restore the
registry system hive from a recent backup.

An example the following sets the startup type for the Eventlog service to
Automatic or SERVICE_AUTO_START:

enable eventlog service_auto_start

If you do not designate a startup type, the enable command lists the current
startup type for the service or device driver you specified in service_name.

Use the listsvc command to display all eligible services or drivers to
enable.

When you use the enable command to change a startup type, the previous
startup type's name will display on the screen. You should write this name
down in case you need to restore the startup type to the previous setting.


To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000
Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup
floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD,
use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks.
Press ENTER at the "Setup Notification" screen. Press R to repair a Windows
2000 installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The
Recovery Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do
not have the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the
computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery
Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,
and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated,
you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard
disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer:
%systemroot% and %windir%
