Services

Windows loads many services as it starts. In a scenario where a critical

service fails to start, Windows tells you at this point with an error message.

The important word here is critical. Windows will not report all service

failures at this point. If a service that is less than critical to Windows doesn’t

start, the OS usually waits until you try to use a program that needs that

service before it prompts you with an error message (see Figure 16-36).

Figure 16-36 Service error

To work with your system’s services, go to the Control Panel |

Administrative Tools | Services and verify that the service you need is

running. If not, restart the service. Also notice that each service has a Startup

Type—Automatic, Manual, or Disabled—that defines when it starts. It’s very

common to find that a service has been set to Manual when it needs to be set

to Automatic so that it starts when Windows boots (see Figure 16-37).
