I tried system restore and it worked. &nbsp;This happend after the vista machine was moved into an OU with our standard group policies. &nbsp;This was our first vista box and i'm thinking thre GPs messed it up. &nbsp;Is there any solution that doesn't involve system restore?

The only one I found on the net during my search was my second suggestion: &nbsp;correcting the Log On tab for the service. &nbsp;Of course, there might be others.<br />
<br />
Anyway, glad that the problem was corrected. &nbsp;Please close the question...

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
