I am using Vista and every time I try to access services.msc it forces my computer to shut down

[Megabite]

Howdy,

Do you mean the PC turns Off completely and you have to turn it back on?

[MBM123]

Yes, that's right

[MBM123]

It basically reboots itself

[Megabite]

Very strange.....are you have any other problems with the PC and is this a laptop or desktop?

How are you trying to access services.msc through the Run command?

[MBM123]

It's a laptop. No experiencing any other problems.

Trying to access through the run command

[Megabite]

Try typing msconfig in the run command and click OK, see what happens

[MBM123]

It brings me up a system configuration box

[Megabite]

Have you installed any new programs lately or used any registry cleaners?

[MBM123]

Not that I am aware of

[Megabite]

If this has just happened recently then you can try System Restore and pick a date when you think it was working

[MBM123]

It will not allow me to restore, error message is
Incomatible version of the serializing package (0x80070724)

[Megabite]

That is the shadow copy...

Why did you want to get into Services in the first place?

[MBM123]

I run a CRM (Sage ACT) and it has stopped working. I spoke to ACT who advised me that the SQL Server had stopped running and was trying to access it.

Is this at work PC?
