Hi there everyone, I've had this problem seemingly after I ran this TCPFix everyone was recommending. Suddenly, when I log in, I don't have sound, (Windows Audio service isn't started), and some of the blue bars are gone. (Windows Themes is not started/or has randomly closed.) Checking the event viewer, I saw a few interesting things:

Code: [Select]The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action (Restart the service) after the unexpected termination of the Windows Management Instrumentation service, but this action failed with the following error:
An instance of the service is ALREADY running.

Code: [Select]The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action (Restart the service) after the unexpected termination of the Themes service, but this action failed with the following error:
An instance of the service is already running.
*censored*?

Code: [Select]The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action (Restart the service) after the unexpected termination of the Windows Management Instrumentation service, but this action failed with the following error:

And that one came up again. Odd.

So if anyone has any answers to this oddity, please give them out.
P.S. SERVICES are set to automatic mode.Did you try system restore?Well, I'd rather not to, do I have to?I'm talking about system restore (Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore), not recovery CD, or partition.
System restore deals with Windows files only. Your data is safe.Ok, I'll give it a go then. I'll be BACK with the results.Ok, system restore seems to have done the trick. Kaspersky is freaking out right now though, saying it's DATABASE is corrupted. Guess I'll have to reinstall it.

Thanks for your help!You're welcome
