Hi
I was manually installing Win XP SP3. So I used MSConfig to do a clean boot. Install SP3 [no errors]. Reboot. Let the system finish off it's stuff. Open MSConfig and re-enable everything. Reboot.
Some services do not start up. They don't even show up in MSConfig but are listed in the Services applet. In MSConfig, if you go back to the "normal" settings and reboot, the services are still disabled and MSConfig is still in selective mode. In the Services applet, you can't start them.
Of note that most services do start up but a few didn't. In this one the Avast [managed] did not. Can't even uninstall. Gives me an error.
Did a system restore to get back to where I was. Not even sure uninstalling SP3 would of helped.
Ideas why this would happen before I attempt again?
