Guest Ushnell Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 After updating my Windows 2000 Pro with update rollup 1 and the service pack, I realized my hard disk's space went down gradually so later decided to uninstall both to find out which one is the cause. After uninstalling the service pack though, it demanded that the computer be restarted. Windows restarted but a dialog screen popped up with the message: the entry point: IsWellKnownIs could not be found in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.DLL. because of this Windows now starts up slowly, network connections, printers and multimedia are not available and Explorer generates errors when I do right-click commands. This problem has caused my computer to become useless because I use it mostly to access the Internet. Can any one here help with solutions to this dilemma? if so thanks in advance. Ushnell

Guest Dave Patrick Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Re: Services.exe-entry point not found. Then you're in a bit of a pickle. Your best bet is to reapply the service pack and then rollup or possibly borrow a CD from someone. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest Ushnell Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Re: Services.exe-entry point not found. Reapplying the rollup and the service pack would be the precise solution to this problem but that seems to be impossible to do Dave because services.exe seems to be the application that is responsible for loading the files that allow network connections to be available and especially that it manages the protocol UHDC (or whatever it is) which is used for connecting to the internet. So that is why I am not able to go to Microsoft's site to download and re-install the service pack and the update roll-up again. As for the Windows 2000 CD, the source would not be from a friend but maybe an internet site like eBay that may still have this software CD for sale because others that I know have a Windows XP based computer. am I still in the bit of a pickle? he he. -- Ushnell "Dave Patrick" wrote: > Then you're in a bit of a pickle.
