  • ID:2481 of the event, the UPS Service is not configured correctly.

    I am running Win XP Pro, service Pact 3. I found this error in my event log.

    I do not have a UPS, so I wonder why should I get this error at all. I checked my settings of UPS and no UPS is displayed, all my options are set to NEVER, why I get a fatal error, which I am. It does not shut down the computer, or even to tell me, but the newspaper it says that Windows is not allowing things to start because of the error.

    ?

    Somehow, I don't think it's good to ignore error messages, but I guess you can.

    The error means that the UPS Service is configured to start automatically with XP and if you have no set ups, the UPS Service will complain when it tries to start.

    When XP tries to start the UPS Service, you will see an error like this:

    Services
    Cannot start service on Local computer uninterruptible power
    Error: 2481 the UPS Service is not configured correctly.

    You will also see errors in the Event Viewer log system like this:

    Event type: error
    Event source: UPS
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 2481
    Description:
    The UPS service is not configured correctly.

    Event type: error
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7023
    The uninterruptible power supply is completed with the following error:
    The UPS service is not configured correctly.

    If you do not use a UPS system, you should the ups the value Manual Service or just turn it off.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    services.msc

    Click OK to launch the Services applet and locate the mailing Service uninterruptible power.

    Right-click on the Service, choose Properties, and set the startup type to manual or disabled.

    Click OK to save the changes, close the Services applet and reboot the system to make sure there is no mistake and changes 'stick '.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Can't install Itunes, get an error that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode"

    OP: Install problems Windows

    I tried to install iTunes, but he said that "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Call support personnel. "They gave me similar messages by other programs I've tried to install as well.

    Because I was not running Windows in safe mode in time, I assumed that the installer was not installed correctly. So I tried to download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    But then I got error messages like "this update does not apply to your system" and "not enough memory is available to process this command." I tried all the links and none of them worked for me. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?

    1.] I had a previous version of iTunes, but I got rid of it with Revo Uninstaller.

    I was looking around and I found this: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/96680-repair-windows-installer-service-vista-all-versions-2.html

    I followed the direction of the last message (by F'n Vista) and changed the value of WOW64 Registry and now iTunes has installed perfectly and works now. I'll try to install other programs that I got hurt with previously. Thank you very much for your help! :)
