    So far everything looks OK - I can't see what service the error is complaining about

    Please try the following -
    Reboot - and allow 5 minutes before touching the machine after logon
    open an Elevated Command Prompt window
    run the following command
    SC QUERY TYPE= SERVICE >servlist.txt

    then attach the file C:\Windows\System32\servlist.txt to your response.
    Nothjing Came up, i pressed enter and it went to new line?

    That's normal - the results were save in the file, rather than printed to the screen.
    just look for the file C:\Windows\System32\servlist.txt and attach it to your reply

    Is that all that's in the file??
    In that case you ran it from an ordinary Command Prompt - not an Elevated one.
    Try again in an elevated command prompt, and attach the file to your response.

    OK, it turns out that the specifier doesn't seem to be needed - so use this

    Code:
     
    SC<space>QUERY<space>>servlist2.txt
    Please paste the Command prompt window contents (or a screencap of it)
    the file will be found in the System32 folder as
    C:\Windows\System32\servlist2.txt

    Well done! - I *may* have thought of that one, but probably wouldn't have suggested it, as installing SP's can make problems worse, rather than better.

    Good Luck!
    (Thanks for coming back to let us know)
