From: Unknown on 13 Apr 2010 16:18 Your first comment on your previous post left some confusion. "Well certainly not on any kind of dialup basis" My system then, is very similar to yours. I.E. I have XP Home, I'm on a DSL line. But, you have many more 'services' than I. Some I can easily explain, (such as LexBeeS), I have a Hewlett Packard. But, psqlWGE, lanmanworkstation, and the fact that Norton Antivirus pops up in auto after you shut it down makes no sense. I'll not offer any suggestions but await John John's next post. "William B.

I posted the wrong batch file earlier, it was a work file, not the finished file. Sorry about that, try this instead: Copy the stuff between the === lines and save it as a .bat file then run the batch file (double click on it).

Will do it again from > Clean Boot later. See SCM/WIA involvement, Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) used by scanners, cameras and probably your webcam, this is why I asked you to *completely* remove these devices and all their associated software from your machine. In the batch file the line: sc config stisvc start= Disabled will (should have) set the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) to *disabled*. A disabled service cannot start, trying to start it will throw an error. Something in your startup applications is changing the start status of the service an re-enabling it, these things don't change by themselves alone. Run the batch file again to reset the start values of the services then do a clean boot, don't reboot after you run the batch file because the startup applications will just change it again! Run the batch file then do the necessary steps to clean boot then reboot. > plus specifically the every-hour-events. You mean Norton stuff? That will be the next one to get its head chopped off! It shouldn't run if you do the clean boot properly. John |
