services.msc

jank

when i try to run services.msc an error appears saying that there is an invlaid path or file name
i want to enable a service (ndp) and dont know how else to go about it

moridin

Right click my computer, select manage, go to services.

Though I suspect that might not work as it will load the services snapon for the MMC.

Hmm, you could try starting it manually, by running

net start ndp

at a command prompt

Balfa

try start, run: c:\winnt\system32\services.msc
or whatever your windows directory is.

try just searching for the file and double clicking it. who knows, it may have been randomly moved out of system32, or it may have been deleted. alternatively, you may be using a computer on which you don't have access to it.

lo moridin, btw

I must have done something wierd cause i can access the services at all
its there alright a simple search confirmed that for me but i cant access the bloddy thing
it keeps saying access denied to me

any ideas how to permit me to access the services?
alot of googling has shown me nothing

on an other but related matter when i try and run some programs i have nothing happens at all it look like it is launching but then just stops
i remember i downloaded a program to turn off a load of proccess that i didnt need( well it appeared i dont need them)
that is one of the programs that wont launch for me now along with desert combat

Are you logged in with an administrator account?

Sometimes programs won't run if you're not
