kanbeki Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Get a legit copy of Vista? the question does not regard the "legit"ness of my copy, it was a simple question that did not involve any mention of this topic, I was hoping to see if anyone else had run into something similar even on xp, but now I am starting to remeber why I left this board in the first place.

fire_storm Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Try formating and re-installing windows vista again and see if that fixes the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderChicken Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 well like fire storm said you could try that or i would right click the service, and see its dependancies and see if maybe on of those is disabled if that isnt the prob post back and ill try and help more. Ive been using vista ultimate final release for a couple weeks not an expert but im learning my way around it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
