Services won't start

Some of my vital services that I need - cryptographic services and automatic
updates in particular - have trouble starting. I have them set to automatic
and reboot, but they still stay stopped. When I try starting them manually, I
get:

Error 1058 : The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or
because no enabled devices are associated with it.

I know it's not disabled, but as for enabled devices I have no idea. Any
help would be greatly appreciated and needed. Thanks.

Hi Frank,

Right-click on the "problem" service, select Properties then Log On tab. In
the Hardware Profile field, if the Service status is Disabled for your
Hardware Profile (eg., Profile 1), click to highlight the disabled Hardware
profile, click on the Enable button, then click on Apply. Now, select the
General tab and click on Start under Service status.



Regards,
