I have Windows XP SP3 and Avast antivirus on my notebook. So problem is that from yesterday I started to see message " Access denied" when I try to do anything with any service (Disable, Manual, Automatic).
I've done System restore a week a go, but 2 or 3 days ago the issues has occurred again. Should I make System Restore again? What could possibly be a reason?
Answer
After seeing other forums with similar issues it appears as if the error could be due to a conflict with a piece of software. One forum has mentioned it was due to a security update for their printer!
Disable ZoneAlarm or any firewall/AV you have and see if the error persists.
Open up MSCONFIG and, if you know what you are doing (if not, read up on it first) disable as much as you can from start up. If the problem goes then you'll have to add them one at a time until you find the culprit!
A Windows Update security update or similar could cause the issue. Roll back the system (System restore) and only download the updates you need.
