Im running win xp home with SP3

When I click View running services link in the Advanced System Information
section in Help and Support Center, I encounter the following error message
while collecting Services information and it just freezes up and never gives me
a log

'inst.PathName' is null or not an object

I did some research on the error and I found this script
ListOrphanservices.vbs that can pinpoint the services
that are causing the problems and this is the log from that
but I'm not sure how to go about correcting them...was hoping
somebody here could walk me thru it. The 1st 2 services I have
disabled because I no longer have that program on my pc anymore
but Im not sure if they still need to be fixed....


Services with missing ImagePath value

Service : AcrSch2Svc
Display : AcrSch2Svc
Image Path :

Service : afcdpsrv
Display : afcdpsrv
Image Path :

Service : WLSetupSvc
Display : Windows Live Setup Service
Image Path :


Thanks so much!

The Image Paths are gone but the entries are probably still there in the registry. You'll need to delete them.

Click Start > Run > type regedit

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AcrSch2Svc

Right-click and delete AcrSch2Svc

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\afcdpsrv

Right-click and delete afcdpsrv

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WLSetupSvc

Right-click and delete WLSetupSvc
