Windows xp services

HappyDog:
I am unable to get on the internet because of the following problem. Basically it is a services problem. The services that allow internet connection sharing (ICS) will not run. These services include sharedaccess, netman,rasauto, rasman,wmi.

I cannot get to services through administrative tool because i get a "cannot find snap-in", so I have used cmd.exe and the "sc" commands. Still can't turn on the above services. I no longer have the xp disk. I am running sp3. I have tried the windows repair available here, but I also keep getting an ACTIVEDS.dll error message so the repair won't run. At this point I am stumped. Can't afford a new computer right now.

Sounds like you have a lot of files missing, did you try a sfc /scannow and if you did, did it ask for the xp cd?

If you have files missing or corrupt you will need to get your hands on an xp disk so you can do a sfc. Have you also done a chkdsk on the drive and check for bad sectors yet?

Open a cmd.exe window and put in

chkdsk c: /r /f

When you run it it will say the drive is in use and would you like to schedule it, hit Y and enter then reboot. If the chkdsk doesn't start before windows loads try it again, sometimes it takes a time or two to get it going. :wink:

I was afraid you were going to say I need the xp disk. I did perform a chkdsk and no problems there. Anything else come to mind

HappyDog:
i will try the sfc/scannow. Question: Do I run that from  cmd.exe and if so, what is the syntax?

HappyDog:
I am on a public computer and not always here. Will check in every couple of days and I will try to get an xp disk.
