After the desk top is loaded an error message keeps popping up. In the dialog box under the word "Error" there is a white cloud with an "i" The message says "The service has not been started" What does this refer to and how can I stop it, or correct it. After the first click off it reappears a second time.
 
If you just installed a new program I would remove, reboot and reinstall it and then patch it. If you did not install any new software run a virus scanner and make sure it's up to date first before running. Last run some spyware remover programs. Spybot and adware are good and free for home use. Get at www.download.com. Use their search feature to find on web site.
 
Hi Bill,

Go to Start > Run > msconfig
and uncheck any application that may cause this, basically you need to
uncheck them all and boot up. If you boot up all right, then add the
entries one or two at a time until you find the culprit.
This is the one that needs to remain unchecked.

Good luck
