The majority of my "services" are ticked but are "stopped". How can I change
them to "running"?

Can anyone help.

Thanks
 
Stu: The services run only when they're supposed to run. Otherwise they
would occupy RAM for no reason.

Thanks for the info, however, maybe you can help further.

the service "windows audio" is "stopped" and I can't play any music. In
addition the Start> "help & support" wont load and indicates "winows cannot
open help and support as a system service is not running"

Any Ideas?
 
To start a service: Start > Run > type: services.msc > OK > look in the
right-hand column for 'Help and Support' and for 'Windows Audio'. In
either case, double-click on the service and it will open to the General
tab.

Start the service by clicking on the Start button in 'Service status'.
In the 'Startup type' drop-down box select Automatic. For each service
click on the Apply button when you are done, then click on OK.

Don't know if you need to restart your computer after all is done, but
it won't hurt. Now both services will load on startup and will run
whenever they are needed.

Adding to the Earl advice, try this Open a run command and type in:
services.msc click [OK].
On the services control panel make sure these services started Auto:
Help and Support
Server
Windows Audio
Close and Reboot your machine and try to reproduce the scenario?.

Earl Grey:

Followed the instructions, however, when I tried to click "start the
service" i got the following error "error 1068. the depency group or group
failed to start"
 
The error message means that your service depends on another service
which also needs to start.

This is why it's best not to fool around with your services.

Make sure these services are started:

Server Auto
Terminal Server Manually

Look in the event Viewer for any error messages that can shed some light on
the cause.
Does this error occur when accessing the Internet or another local
application?.

Using a website stinks for newsgroups. You write a message and it's not
replied to the original thead nor is there any quote from the original
thread, so nobody has any idea who you are replying to.
