Services Control Manager security event

[IP]

I get a pair of errors every time I log on without
administrative priveleges.

There are 2 related events logged in the security log,
detailed below;
Object Open:
Object Server: SC Manager
Object Type: SC_MANAGER OBJECT
Object Name: ServicesActive
New Handle ID: -
Operation ID: {0,251281}
Process ID: 224
Primary User Name: WS1$
Primary Domain: DOMAIN
Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
Client User Name: ip
Client Domain: DOMAIN
Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x30DE2)
Accesses DELETE
READ_CONTROL
WRITE_DAC
WRITE_OWNER
Connect to service controller
Create a new service
Enumerate services
Lock service database for
exclusive access
Query service database lock state
Set last-known-good state of
service database

Privileges -

The wording of the 2 errors (displayed by dialogue box
just after login) is;
"SCMan Access is denied." &
"SCMan Can't Open Service Control Manager"

I've been researching for a day now. I know what the
services control manager is and a number of problems it
can experience.

However, the only workaround so far is to give everybody
admin rights. That's not going to happen.

Any fixes or comments gladly received.

Found a fix. Uninstall ASUS control panel utility for the
video card (lives in systray).

No wonder nobody here had any feedback - too left field.

Talk about poorly written integration and error reporting
from ASUS.
