Windows XP services stop automatically

J

Jaco Swart

Really weird one.
Small network, 1 server running SBS 2000 all latest service packs, 9
workstations all XP SP2 and updates.
Symantec Anti Virus Software, Corp Edition all up to date.
One of the machines on the network will simply just stop some services
on its own accord. Normally happens right after logging off, but also
happens while machine is logged on.

Services stopped are:
· Automatic Updates
· Computer Browser
· Cryptographic Services
· DHCP Client
· Distributed Link Tracking Client
· Error Reporting Service
· Help and Support
· Logical Disk Manager
· Secondary Logon
· Security Center
· Server
· System Event Notification
· System Restore Service
· Task Scheduler
· Themes
· Windows Audio
· Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
· Windows Management Instrumentation
· Windows Time
· Wireless Zero Configuration
· Workstation

Users logging on and off do not have admin rights on the machine, so
presumably the services are not stopped using the user rights.

Already reloaded SP2, full virus scan, spyware / addware scan, just no
success.
From what I could see, it does not happen if the network cable is
unplugged.

HELP!!!!

Are there any clues in Event Viewer? Start>Run eventvwr.msc [enter]

If Event Viewer isn't useful, then perhaps there is a hardware problem
with your NIC. Try swapping it out for a known-working one. But check
Event Viewer first.

Disable network boot in BIOS setup?
