some services stopped in system config - why?

A tech looked at my remote desktop - it runs windows 7 - he noticed a lot of services stopped under the service tag.  Should I worry about this - he tried to sell me his help to solve the problem.  Is this really a problem?

You gave them remote access to your computer? Ouch! See below.

and tells me to restart my computer I did.  After that shut down - it will not re-start Windows 7 starter edition and would not go into safe mode.  I reinstalled the operating system on this netbook and called Microsoft to ask if I had downloaded the correct version of Security Essentials because my computer was running Windows 7 starter 32-bit.

Later I discovered in the conversation, the technology was myphonesupport.com and not Microsoft and Krishan wanted me to buy a service time to fix my computer.  He showed me where under the system configuration that I had a lot of services stopped and I got a lot of errors in the event log.  He insisted these were critical and would cause me future problems.

All these companies are scammers. You should have nothing to do with
them. You leave them in your computer once again, once you have reinstalled
Windows? If so, you are in serious danger, and I highly recommend it
you do both of the following immediately:

1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
financial sites.

    This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.

    You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG 9 and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running. These security software stop windows Defender work properly in order to prevent conflicts.

    3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Click on apply. Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

    If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:

  • Receive the error "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed" after the video card replaced

    I have a HP computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 2.  He has a VISX PureTV tuner card and already had an NVidia GeForce 8400 graphics card.  This Setup has worked well for 2.5 years until what the graphics card died last week.  It has been replaced with an ATI Radeon HD3450 and both all Windows updates have made current.  Since that time, the TV tuner did not work.

    When you sign in to an account, it gives the error message "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed".  I can use Media Center to watch the recorded video before, but if I try to watch live TV he hangs up and close Media Center.  If I try to configure the TV connection in Media Center it tells me that there is no tuner card.

    I looked at the map and see no problem and I tried it back in place.  He has the most up to date drivers (so does the new Radeon graphics btw).  I tried "Uninstall" in the Manager of devices and then put it back, but it was not good.

    "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Stopped Working and was closed" I tried all the fixes I've seen this error.

    I tried all the things I saw here and elsewhere related to this issue.  I did a "clean boot" with all non-Windows services and the disabled startup process.  He always did the same thing and gave the same mistakes.  It seems to be linked to a Windows service, and I hesitate to begin deactivation to track down.

    I ran 'sfc' in mode 'cmd' and he found no problem and none of the files to be fixed or could not fix.

    In the list of services, I changed the login for "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" to "Local System account", Local Service, Network Service and individual accounts, but no permits.

    I'm afraid I'm at the point of having to reload the Vista, but I don't know how to do this and want to avoid at all costs.  I don't have the recovery disks and software.  Is this enough?  Can I reinstall from the recovery disks without wiping everything aft of the configuratiion with which it was delivered?  I guess personal files will be OK (although I don't know this for sure), but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall other applications, my family has developed over time and perhaps lose the media protected by DRM licenses.

    Someone has encountered anything like this or have any suggestions?

    Well, I finally stumbled into the solution.  It was caused by a conflict with another application.

    A few weeks before the card failure I had installed a program called video capture Replay Video Capture that I had bought a few months ago and never used.  However, at this time where everything including the TV tuner and Media Center worked well that's why I associate the problem with this software.  The problem comes after the system is rebooted the first time after installation.  In my case, it has not been rebooted until a few weeks later as part of the recovery of the fault of the graphics card.  Suddenly, the TV tuner did not work and I get the error messages mentioned in this title of the thread.

    I was at the end of my rope with this and was just to clean your system to do a reformat and reinstallation.  I uninstalled the Replay Videa Capture program to move it to another computer, and when you restart the computer I noticed that the error message disappeared.  Of course I went to the Media Center and could set up my TV tuner card and watch television.

    Looking for some info on this conflict, I found the following. (http://forum.applian.com//showthread.php?847-Conflicts-between-RVC-and-XP-Media-Center-OS&s=c0aec9897b51d550c47b919e73e59bfc)  It is difficult to say who is at fault in the present.  I'm sure that Microsoft accuses Applian for the encoder to mpeg (mcm2ve.ax) used in Replay Video Capture, while Applian says that the problem is a Windows process (ehrec.exe) that works all the time, hogging the tuner on the system device.  According to Applian other products similar to theirs have this conflict as well due to the process of Windows.

    Fortunately, there is a solution in this case.  Applian has released a new version of Replay Video Capture (version 4.2) that uses a different mpeg encoder and eliminates the problem.  Given the surprising lack of info about it on the Microsoft Web site, I wonder how many other people with this unresolved issue dealing with the same thing as me.  If you're like me and you don't usually need to reboot your PC for a few weeks at a time, you may never know to associate the problem with the application.  What a waste countless hours trying to diagnose, and most disconcerting, that's what I was about to go through a reformat and reinstall because of this.

    Thought I'd post here my problem resolution in the hope that it might help someone else.

  • Detection of InsightCM Server service stopped

    Hello.

    Is it possible to get some kind of alarm or notification, if the InsightCM Server service stopped running on the server? It is not something I've experienced, but I just got the issue with the customer, so that I am currently working.

    Thank you.

    Hi Jens,

    Unfortunately, there is not a built-in way to be alerted if the service of InsightCM crashes. However, you can use the built in tools of Windows services to run a program if the service crashes. You can set the action in Windows Services by right-clicking on the InsightCM service and selecting Properties and then accessing the Recovery tab. You can then this pointer to any generic EXE. This program, for example, could send users to inform them of the accident.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

  • Services stopped automatically

    In my windows 2008 OS some services are stopped automatically.what is the cause for this?

    Even if I manually restart these services, after some time, these services are automatically stopped.

    Please mention the name of these services (as well as a brief description in the event that they are not Windows service)

    In the meantime, if you find these services are very important to the environment and must always run, follow these steps:

    1. go into Services.msc
    2. a 'Service' right click then properties
    3. click on the Recovery tab, set the following parameters:

    First failure = restarting the Service
    Second failure = restarting the Service
    Subsequent failures = restarting the Service
    Reset Fail Count after = 120
    Restart the Service after = 0

    4. click on Ok

  • Cannot start the various services of the system; "Error 5: access is denied."

    While the usual game of services configured to start automatically, they, well, aren't... And trying to make em start manually translates "access denied" or "dependency service or group could not start" error. Only a small handful of load on their own, but they do not include, for example, the Remote Procedure Call service.

    The user account is supposed to have administrative access; the Group of user accounts (accessed via the control panel) is empty, and (as I am running XP Home) I have no access to the local users and groups. Restart in safe mode and the connection via the administrator account cause the same exact symptoms.

    I was not present when the problem started, but I am told that it took place after the system crashed and restarted. Start up times are extended, but do not understand the error messages.

    I can't use the catering service because it does not start. The same for the Windows Installer service. The services that start are:

    Plug-and-Play
    Java Quick Starter
    Event log (which has no error)
    Hello Service
    AVG Free8 Watchdog Service
    ATI Hotkey Poller
    Apple Mobile Device

    Last known good Configuration boots in exactly the same way.

    I found a thread online, noting that if you see this article of your registry, you can get rather more solid info on your services:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

    When looking for the RPC here service, I found that it relied on "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe" in order to load. Of course, attempting to run manually giving access denied errors.

    I rebooted in safe mode and checked the permissions (by opening the properties file and then by checking the Security tab) - group Everone has had total control, but on the re-disabling/enabling access error messages have disappeared. I rebooted normally and the RPC service was back running, as well as all the others.

    Unfortunately, after restarting once more permissions whacked again and I was forced to repeat the procedure. At this time I am pretty certain that some malware is involved, but you can consider the initial problem fixed. Thanks for your time.  :)
