service and application question

[Guest]

I recently made several changes to my Computer Management in the service and
application section under services. The changes I made were to make almost
everything Automatic. The reason I made these changes was because I
downloaded the beta version of Microsoft Onecare. After I installed it I
couldn't get it to work properly. I then reverted to a previous restoration
date. That really messed everything up. I couldn't get the system firewall to
start and lost my antivirus too. So I restored again, only back to the
originial date. I attempted to get onecare to uninstall with out success. I
tried to reinstall again and that also failed.
To that end I have no idea what the originial setting were.
So what are the settings I should now have in my service section of service
and application?
My last question is, currently I some how got my system fire wall to work,
onecare is installed, the anti virus in onecare is working. The only trouble
is onecare does not see that the fire wall is there. So it is in "red alert"
When actually windows security shows it working. How do I get onecare to take
over for the fire wall?

See this link about XP services and their default configuration:

For the OneCare system you need to contact their tech support.

This is just a troubleshooting step that you can use,
Cannot turn on firewall
Verify that the Windows Live OneCare Firewall Service and Drivers are running
SC Query MSFWDRV
SC Query MSFWSVC
SC Query MSFWHLPR
Reinstall the firewall drivers if needed
Navigate through C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows OneCare Live\Staging
Right click on MPSSETUP and choose install
Remove third party security software
Check PATH environment variable
Click on Start, Run and type sysdm.cpl and click on OK
Click on the advanced tab
Click on the Environment Variables button
Under System variables, highlight Path and click on Edit
The variable value should contain
%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
Ensure the “Event Log†service is started
Re-register firewall related WMI DLL files
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i
for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer
Recompile the MOF files from the WBEM folder
for /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s
Open the CMD prompt as Administrator and enter the following commands:
Winmgmt /verifyrepository

Winmgmt /salvagerepository

If both commands received the following errors:

Winmgmt /verifyrepository = returned message of WMI repository is INCONSITENT

Winmgmt /salvagerepository = returned error of WMI repository salvage
failed. Error code: 0x8007041B. A stop control has been sent to a service
that other running services are dependent on.

Please try to run the command winmgmt /resyncperf then try to run the above
commands again

Clean boot system

Reinstall MSXML 4.0 SDK and Parser

There may be an incorrect registry value related to the Firewall in the
WINSS key

Restart the computer
