When running the Services & Drivers applet, an error is returned:
"Function call cannot be initialized" (or something similar)
How can I get the Services and Drivers applet to work?
System:
WinXP Pro SP2
AMD Athlon XP2600+
512 Meg Memory.

Could you provide more details, please? I still can't simulate this kind of malfunction. Does the application start normally and then it fails while running or it won't start at all?

Description:
Windows XP SP2. AMD Athlon XP. 512 Meg mem.

Steps to Replicate:
1. Boot to the Bart bootdisk
2. Click "Services and Drivers"
3. Click "Run Now"
4. Click "Load Selected OS Registry
Expected Result:

There's probably a problem with loading data from your registry. I'll need your SYSTEM registry hive (a file %SystemRoot%\System32\Cofing\system). The application should be also more precise when reporting an error (this will be corrected in the next version).

The strange thing is that the Registry Editor works - or doesn't it, mooreted?

Yeah, the registry editor works. I emailed my system hive, hopefully that will help.
The registry cleaner works but only on some keys. It cannot delete all invalid keys.
It seems like a permission problem.
