Workstation Service Disabling

[Guest]

Hello everybody I have a laptop 1,6MH Centrino 1Gb RAm in which windows
starts quickly but the Workstation Service will start 130 sec after the
desktop appears.

And before Workstation starts, no Network, no navigation, not even a file
search is possible.

I tried everything but the only solution was disabling the Workstation
Service. Without this service, the complete start is 10 sec after the
desktop appears.

The problem is that I need workstation service to connect on a LAN....

Anybody can give me a solution?

Thanks Sylvia

This sounds like a service startup deadlock, usually the result of changing
service startup parameters (automatic, disabled, manual) from their
defaults.

These can be very hard to debug. Typing the command line command "sc
querylock" while the hang is occuring might get you started.

Dear Ken, thank you, I never messed up the service startup parameters. The PC
was new and since then it has had the same problem. I know I could bring it
back to the vendor, the only problem is that I bought it in Hong Kong and
will be back there only in 5 months.
So I am trying to solve it by myself.

In any case I did what you said and got

C:\Documents and Settings\Sylvia>sc querylock
[SC] QueryServiceLockStatus SUCCESS
IsLocked : TRUE
LockOwner:.\NT Service Control Manager
Lock Duration: 95 (seconds since acquired)

C:\Documents and Settings\Sylvia>sc querylock
[SC] QueryServiceLockStatus SUCCESS
IsLocked : TRUE
LockOwner:.\NT Service Control Manager
Lock Duration: 130 (seconds since acquired)

Then when the service started, (I do not know why the count started again)
C:\Documents and Settings\Sylvia>sc querylock
[SC] QueryServiceLockStatus SUCCESS
IsLocked : TRUE
LockOwner:.\NT Service Control Manager
Lock Duration: 2 (seconds since acquired)

And soon after, after the complete start of the machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\Sylvia>sc querylock
[SC] QueryServiceLockStatus SUCCESS
IsLocked : FALSE
LockOwner:
Lock Duration: 0 (seconds since acquired)

Any clue?

Thanks anyway, Sylvia

The count started again because after 120 seconds Windows forcibly breaks
the deadlock and moves onto the next service.

The output of "sc querylock" wasn't too informative as I feared.

Next step is probably to look at the list of services while you are in the
hung state (fastest way: start ... run ... services.msc) and see which
service is in the "starting" status.
