Guys im stumped and or screwed!

First my audio went so I checked my device manager, ohboy it's EMPTY.
I then check the services well no icon for that now so I use CMD, I can't get the services to DO anything!

Im wiggin out!


FYI: I do not have the Windows XP pro x64 install disk.

Services.msc or mmc.exe do anything in Run?

[Steve8867]

Yes they open the right windows.

Run Windows Update.. Do You Have Service Pack 2 Installed ?

[Steve8867]

System properties says sp2 IS installed, but because the services are not working I can't use windows update.

What Do You Mean Services Are Not Working ?

[Steve8867]

When I click on a service I get this: service NOT available, then error3 when I try and start it.

Go To Start > Run > Cmd > Net Start > C:\Service.txt

Go To C:\ .. Open "Service.txt" And Copy And Paste Everything Here !

[Steve8867]

Cmd NOT recognized as internal/external cmd, program or batch file = did not work.

The Net Start DID work though.
