Windows 2000 Server Problem
I disabled a few services that I thought were not needed
today.
Now the property boxes are not visable behind:
Services when I double click. I cannot reenable or start
any services.
The choices are grayed out.
Event Logs, double click and the properties box will not
appear.
Etc.

Can anyone help?

Hi Chuck,
Make sure the RPC service is started, and make sure the "Logical Disk
Manager Administrative Service" (not to be confused with the "Logical Disk
Manager" service) is set to Manual, and NOT started.

If you need to change the start-type for a service while in this condition,
you'll have to do it via the Windows Registry. For example, to set the
"Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service" to Manual, do the following:

1. In Regedit, browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dmadmin
2. Change the "Start" value to "3" (manual).
3. Restart the machine for the change to take effect.
