Can't get secondary logon working

[beardedwonder]

I can't seem to get secondary logon service to run, it is not listed in services.msc and i have tried to cahnge the value to the correct one in the registry but i can't seem to get it working.

This is what happens when i try to use 'Run as' on a .exe file:

And this is what happens when i try to install postgres, which is what i really need to do:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Have you used nlite (or some other program) to modify the install of XP at all? i.e. if your using a customised version of XP, this may be why.

Just a quick answer here and only a thought in passing.

yes i did, is there no way of rectifying this? Or will i have to reinstall?

In truth, I'm not sure. It depends if you have removed something using nlite that cant just be installed later on.

There may be some info on this in the nlite section of the forum.

Do you have any sort of log with whats been removed using nlite or anything? I'm afraid I dont use it myself so I cant help there, but it may give us a clue as to whats missing (the error may only part of the thing missing if you see my meaning) and may or may not have a idea for a solution.

This may be a long shot, but how about the sc and net start commands?

[beardedwonder]

what are those commands?
