Hello,
I'm having an annoying problem here, and I can't seem to find a way to fix it...
Here's what happened:
I was booting my Dell dimension 8400 into windows xp and somewhere during the final stages (I had already logged into my account) there was a brief power failure.
When the power came back on, I booted up my computer, but at the black windows xp screen, right after the bios screen, I got the blue screen of death with the following stop code: 0x00000024.
There was no way to boot into windows (all safe mode startup options etc. led to the same blue screen). So I put in the original bootable installation cd and ran recovery console. Then I used chkdsk /r and then chkdsk /p.
This seemed to fix the problem (ie I could boot back into xp) but although everything seemed to be ok, there were weird problems. I tracked those down to almost none of the services being started and when I try starting them, I get the following error: "Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start".
So I found this article on the subject: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827328
But whenever I try to start the RPC for instance, I get the following error: "Error 5: Access is denied".
I am logged in as an administrator by the way.
And really nothing works in windows, I can't even copy files from one folder to another. I can access the internet (only through firefox, cos IE won't start at all).
Any thoughts?
Thnx,
Vincent
