Services timing out

[Jason]

System is XP Pro SP2 + subsequent fixes.

Recently I have been encountering errors that all stem from the fact
that some system services are timing out. Acronis backup began to fail
and the Event log reported timeouts by three services, dmserver, TrkWks,
and ShellHWDetection. The log hows other timeouts, unrelated to Acronis:
audiosrv, HidSrv, Schedule and others. I can provoke the same failures
that Acronis does by trying to use the Disk Management snapin to delete
a partition.

Is there something all these failures have in common? How should I
approach fixing this?

Thanks,
Jason

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

Here are the once-only errors. Note all three are reported for each of
the six partitions that Acronis is trying to access. I can provoke the
same failure with MMC Disk Management by doing almost anything..deleting
a partition, for example.
