Guest DanS Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 MVPs, I am having problems with a Windows XP SP2 install that has the following symptoms after startup: 1. The taskbar is of minimal height and cannot be resized (no start menu visible and taskbar is only a few items wide) 2. Several automatic services are hung in the "Starting" state. They are: a. COM+ Event System b. Network Connections c. Shell Hardware Detection d. Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) 3. In the services.msc (or any MSC for that matter) the action->properties does nothing. I have tried secpol.msc, services.msc 4. The "Extended" tab in most .msc's is empty, but the Standard tab shows items normally. 4. Network drivers fail to install 5. Several programs that used to work fine fail on startup. MSI digicell.exe is one. I really don't want to have to nuke this install and reinstall since I have a large number of applications installed and it would be a huge time drain. I have tried reinstalling COM+ (as per KB 315296), but installation and registration (of es.dll) both fail with 0x80040206. Please help! Thanks. =Dan
