'Specified service does not exist as an installed service'

<< < (2/2)

Shane:
System does look clean.

Something has gotten deleted in the registry and the system is crippled. The best bet is to do a repair install. :wink:

The registry is the hive mind in Windows. When certain keys get deleted or corrupted it can take the system with it.

This will allow you to keep your programs and settings while simply reinstalling Windows.

From the log it shows your on vista

Have you also ran a chkdsk on the drive yet to make sure there is no bad sectors?

I did run chkdsk and nothing much came up. I will plan on doing the repair you suggested this weekend. Will report back after that.
Thanks

Shane:
Let me know how it goes :wink:

jchamber22:
