Hello,
Here, after a mistake on my part while trying to install a patch for my sharing software, my computer asked me to restart. Everything went well until the Windows logo, and then bam, blue screen. I restart in safe mode, same thing, blue screen. I insert my Windows installation DVD and try a repair; I restart and I'm happy to reach my desktop thinking everything is fine, but I get this error message from several applications and services: the specified service does not exist as an installed service. I attempt a system restore, but cannot access the restore service nor any services at all.
Do I have to reinstall the system, or is there a way to reactivate all my services?
Note: the computer starts, I can access the internet, but I am deprived of many of my software; please help me.

    Here it is, I solved the problem by searching a little on the net, it actually has to do with: "User Account Control". I did this: start the computer in safe mode, run msconfig, go to tools, select "Disable User Account Control", click on run. A command prompt appears saying "Operation successful". Finally, restart the computer and everything works again.
    There you go, I was afraid I would have to reinstall the system.
    Thanks Zaboukou for responding anyway. Bye

    Hello

    Before performing a repair with the commands fixboot and fixmbr, do this:

    Restart in safe mode, but choose the option

    Safe Mode Command Prompt.

    Type sfc /scannow

    then type shutdown /r (to restart).

    Hello Jey66170
    If a repair wasn't sufficient, then yes, reinstall. The patches change Windows quite a bit, and often in an irreversible way.
    See you!

    Thank you for responding
    Okay, but when restarting, how do we access safe mode?

    Generally, it’s the F8 key, but it depends on the brands of PCs (F2, F4, etc.)

    to be pressed right at the startup.

    I booted into safe mode with command prompt, the scan stopped at 87% and it said "damaged file found but could not repair all".
    Note: I just realized that the run service isn't working either, for example when typing msconfig.

    I have received the message, but I need to step out; we will find a solution

    there is no need to worry, do an UP in an hour, unless LACHARPENTE

    takes over in the meantime.
