Starting Stopped Services

I see others have this problem, and a suggested solution I found posted is
as follows...

"I struggled with this same issue for more than a few weeks. I finally
managed to get my Event Services started again. I changed the owner on the
%windir%\System32\Logfiles folder [and all children] to the Administrators
group. Like magic, everything returned to normal."

I have already tried that. I have taken ownership of cbs.log file.
Also main
directory \system32 has been changed for permissions as I wanted to put
BDV notepad instead of regular notepad. BDV NOTEPAD could open the entire
30MB log file.
Secondly when I tried to see "eventlog" in Help and Support it gave only
3options
and not a big list. There was no option for "auditing" as you have
mentioned inprevious post.

There is something else in access error and I dont know what the problem
is.
Thanks.

The last resort is to reinstall Vista.

This I dont know as I dont have DVD for Vista. It came preinstalle
on
ACER laptop. They have only option to restore Vista as it was whe
installed &
whole drive will get formatted.
I would like to change back to XP but dont know whether Acer i
giving option
for that.
Whole thing was working properly but it has stopped after I used th
"XP tweak"
program as suggested in some forum. The startup has improved but som
services are
not working
