Hi All

everything was working fine untill i rebooted the server
when it botted up before the login screen appeared a warning saying
** some services could not start ****
when i logged in i when to check event viewer but when i try to click on it it wont let me see any events.

then i went to services.msc

To me it sounds like one service might have failed and then caused a cascading effect taking out all of the dependent services on the machine. Its hard to tell which one it may be though.

If you look in services.msc are all the services that are set to automatic started?

Thanks for your help
I couldnt get into service properites and check wich services relies on,
so i check it on the registry and kill the unwanted process that was crashing the whole service tree

Many thanks again
