Grope For Luna Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 If one critical service isn't started, it can prevent others from starting. eg. DCOM Server Process launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl_009 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hey,I know about the service DCOM Server Process launcher but that is one of many that don’t start when the computer boots when I make the custom CD I do not remove or change any of the service but most of them still don’t start.Any ideas what might be causing them not to....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Alot of services are dependant on others....for example you might have 3 enabled and will get a popup that they can't start because of one that is disabled....you will have right click on a Service Properties then check the tab 'dependencies'...though Nlite is a good tools for some..its a nightmare for many.

Grope For Luna Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Check your event log. Best to leave the services alone and manually configure them later.Look for a program called pserv. When you have your services set up the way you want them, make an xml template that you can load for each new install.

astrotoyboy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hi there, i've been spending a while making my own all-in 1 XP DVD and the last few test burns did exactly the same thing. As well as installing stuff like firewalls, & all those lovely add-ons those cleaver people have made, i've put OFFICE in there and created my own .cmd files that alter both the order of and the icons for folders in the Start Menu. i also altered a lot of system/drive icons too.sorry, rambling...anyways for some reason some of the services didn't start like you say.i think it all came down to what i was installing after the 1st main reboot after XP had finished installing itself, or something and BASICALLY the machine needed ANOTHER restart to get those services workingin the last cmd file (called cleanup) i put the line: ECHO. ECHO Restarting the PC in 1 minute... shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!"then issued some clean up commands (delete temp files, move etc) and this seemed to work ok for for that install (well i restarted by hand...i wasnt going to waste both another DVD & the long time to install the stuff again, but i strongly believe it 2b the prob' on mine)hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhits45 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 In some of my posts Nuhi has said there is an issue with either removing or disabling services with nlite. It seems that its more trouble then its worth really. Everytime I use it something strange happens and either something I want is gone or some other service is not available. I would recommend making a new disc and keep all services default and trying not to remove any. See if the same thing happens then. I bet your problem will go away.
