How can I get the error "Unable to start the service" on attempts to run administrative tools (including the Services application) when logged in as an administrator?

A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
 
I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable.  I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '.  I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped.  (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...)  I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.

I got lucky.  I called a local, independent computer store.  Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS.  It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows.  On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11).  But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account.  I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
 
Thanks to all who responded.
 
Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security.  Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state.  A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.

  • How can I get the best quality when creating a DVD

    Hey everybody

    I really hope you can help because I'm more frustrated. That is the problem.

    Each month, we create a DVD with all the latest trailers on them playing in video stores.


    Here are the steps that we take

    1. download the trailer for quicktime 720 p on the web

    2. We then change the first Pro CC
    3. we add a graphic overlay (its a 1280 X 720, 72 dpi TIFF) I use the CC Photoshop preset for it
    4 export the project to the h.264 (.mp4) format (flow target 7.5, 7.5 maximum Bitrate, quality use Mailhot invalidate) it comes out beautiful in HD 720 p.

    Then we open again CS6

    1. start a new chronology

    2 import our .mp4 file
    3. define our transcoding. Now, here's the problem, I tried each preset. With custtominzing, our most recent has been...

    Screen Shot 2013-08-08 at 1.27.32 PM.png
    Then go us to the author of it. But when its done, it is so blurry you can't read text on the screen. Now, I know that DVD IS NOT HD, I get it, but it must always be readable? That's the best I can get? Here are a few screenshots (sorry I had to take with my camera to the DVD and you can see how blurry.)

    DVD2.jpg

    Any help would be appreciated as our client is really getting annoyed with the quality. Society before us used Premier Pro and still but it came out in a most pleasant way. Im just lost here.

    Export first as MPEG2-DVD. Or something without loss to export even if you have only a compression.

  • How can I get the product key when missing / or fainted at a group of letters and numbers on the Microsoft product labels?

    I am able to see some numbers and letters of a product on the Microsoft label key I bought and you must activate the product. Does anyone know how to find the product key otherwise?

    Your response is much appreciated!

    Hello

    If vista is preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.), this should help you:

    In these Forums, it is often recommended to use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    With or without a dvd, you must enter the product key that was included with the media or have bought and downloaded via the store Ms. The product key is usually on the plastic case, the dvd of Vista arrives or accompanies electronic download and is that you enter during the installation/update level or when you use the control panel > system > change the product key to see active Windows.

    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).

  • How can I get the digital power meter?

    How can I get the digital power meter?

    I use a method similar to the example below to measure the market factor using the inputs of a multifunction data acquisition meter.  If the duty cycle is 0% or 100% for a given period, DAQ reading times out and returns an error.  In this case, I would get the digital state of the counter of entry so I can put as cycle to 0% or 100%.  I want to do it without knowing the digital port and line the entrance of counter... for example I would like to continue referencing DAQ/ctrX since I already have this information.

    The application uses an M series: PXI-6229 DAQ and LabVIEW 2011 to make a system customized for VeriStand.

    https://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-12396

    For the moment I wired the block diagram to add a case structure to check the meter ID and string constants to set the identifier of digital input, as they share the physical connection.  As much as I can say that makes the specific code for the PXI-6229 (or any DAQ with only two counters that share connections with p2.1 and p) 1.4

    I have attached the VI sub.

    When the device is used with a different data acquisition, I can add the connection and/or separate control.  Looks like at least one will be necessary given that the meter can only detect the edges... I think it was the piece of information I needed.

    Thanks for your help!
