Lamentcfg Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have an XP Pro PC, Application will not start, Services MMC Extended view is blank, no printers, cannot cut and paste, cannot do much of anything. Control panel > Admin Tools > Services I get and empty tab for extended services. It appears that all of the standard services are present (none started) however, & I can not start any of them.Due to the services issue I currently have no copy and paste functions on that machine and the cd/dvd drives are not accessible. No printersI have no programs being listed on my taskbar, yet I can still use [Alt]+[Tab]I found info on regististering DLLs to fix it:regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll and bunch more, all registered fine, no change to the PCStart->Run. Type "sfc /scannow" did nothingTried Windows Script 5.6 install --Failed to install got a COM install errorIE did not work, download IE7 and it will runDell suggested a reinstall from the Dell disk, but that would wipe out my HD, I can't do that, 100s of GB of data, a fresh install over windows won't work, the version on the PC is newer and it won't let meHELP!Tomorrow morning I will be at the PC and can give more info.Please, Anyone?-David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
