When I attempt to start stopped services, ThinkVantage task scheduler, in the
Task Manager on a Thinkpad R61i with Vista, an error message says "Access
Denied". If I try to start the services from Control Panel > Administrative
Tools > Services, the PC hangs.

How can I start these services. The account has administrative privileges.
 
What services? Why are they stopped? Have dependent services failed to
start? Some details would be nice.
 
You could run a command window with administrative privileges. Type " net
start 'name of service to start' ".
For example [net start "Computer Browser"]

If you use Windows Help and Support , located on the start menu, and type in
"eventlog" in the search box, you will be presented with a list.
Choose "Monitor attempts to access and change settings on your computer".

You will find near the bottom "To turn on auditing".
Follow the instructions.

Here is what it says...

To turn on auditing
Click to open Local Security Policy.? ( %systemroot%\system32\mmc.exe
secpol.msc ) If you are prompted for an administrator password or
confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Click Local Policies, and then double-click Audit Policy.

Double-click the event type that you want to audit.

Select the Success or Failure check box, or both, and then click OK.

If you select Success, Windows will record any successful attempts to
complete the type of event that you are monitoring. For example, if you are
auditing logon events, any time someone logs on to your computer would be
considered a successful logon event. If you select Failure, any unsuccessful
attempt to log on to your computer will be recorded. If you select both
Success and Failure, Windows will record all attempts. There is a limit to
how many events can be recorded and, if the audit log gets too full, it can
slow down your computer. To make more space, you can delete events from the
log when you are viewing them in Event Viewer.
 
I see others have this problem, and a suggested solution I found posted is
as follows...

"I struggled with this same issue for more than a few weeks. I finally
managed to get my Event Services started again. I changed the owner on the
%windir%\System32\Logfiles folder [and all children] to the Administrators
group. Like magic, everything returned to normal."
 
The last resort is to reinstall Vista.

I have already tried that. I have taken ownership of cbs.log file.
Also main
directory \system32 has been changed for permissions as I wanted to put
BDV notepad instead of regular notepad. BDV NOTEPAD could open the entire
30MB log file.
Secondly when I tried to see "eventlog" in Help and Support it gave only
3options
and not a big list. There was no option for "auditing" as you have
mentioned inprevious post.

There is something else in access error and I dont know what the problem
is.
Thanks.
