Windows Image Acquisition Service Won't Start

[Brent]

I have installed new Cannon digital camera software but cannot connect to
the camera. I have traced to the issue to the WIA service that won't start.
It generates this error '1067'. I have ran 'sfc /scannow' but the service
still won't start. When I use this command 'sc query imgsvc' it tells me the
service does not exist as an installed service. I have WinXP Home, SP2, all
Windows Updates. How can I resolve?

Thanks

First thing I would try is
start/run, type:

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

Done. But still same result.

I would uninstall the Cannon software, and try the builtin image acquire XP
has by default.

I have removed all Cannon related programs to eliminate this as the reason.
But still the WIA service won't start.

There are 'dependency's services that may not be running. I would create and
run a script to find out what those were.

Thanks for your time and feedback.

Done, but no dependencies listed. The only thing the WIA service is
dependent on is RPC which is running.
