The Debug Message service failed to start

[Guest]

Hi,

I get the following error in the Event Viewer log every time I boot.

The Debug Message service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mark.

Debug Message Service looks to be part of Windows CE.

Wesley,

Thanks for your help.

My thinking now is that some third-party app I installed and removed in the
past has failed to clean up this service call in the registry. I will just
delete it and see how I go.

Thanks,
Mark.

Mark,

Those were the only references that I could find to Debug Message Service.

To delete a service.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click the service you want to get rid of |
On the General tab, Service name: take note of the Service Name not the
Display Name | Close Services

Then open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |

Type: sc delete Whateverservice Display Name

and hit Enter

Reboot.

See...

Or open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Whateverservice

Delete it and reboot.
