I have 2 independent PCs running XP Home Edition w/Service Pack 3. I am the
only user and system administrator of both. The "clean boot" process works on
one. On the other I get an error that 'an access is denied while attempting
to change a service and I may have to log on as system administrator to make
a change' .

What is the name of the service?

Thanks for the reply. It does not tell me what the 'service' is, just that
access is denied and, therefore, I cannot do a 'clean boot' procedure as
defined by Microsoft.

Does anything apprear in Event Viewer?

Have a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any more than 48
hours ago.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

What antispyware program or suite are you running on that PC?

Are you sure that that PC is malware-free? If so, how did you determine
that?
