What happens when you try to start them? Do you get any error messages? Anything in your event viewer? Marc Creviere

In event veiwer it says that the dependency service or group failed to start.

I have had this problem on a couple of occasions.The only problem that I could identify was within services.If you look at the way the services are being started ie, are they being logged on with the local system account, or are they being logged on with the administrators account.The problem we were experiencing was due to the fact that we had changed the administrators account password, and had not mirrored this in any of the services that use the admin account to start up.

Does System Attendant Start? Please look in the Application Log not the System Log for the Errors. Dan
