From: AIANDAS on 1 Feb 2010 07:54 I figured googling each and everyone of these things may be the way it goes. OK uninstalling SP3 will not necessarily do the trick then right?

From: R. McCarty on 1 Feb 2010 08:03 No, the service failures are 3rd-party and undoing and re-installing the Service Pack wouldn't address those failures. Many services have dependency services. For one to start successfully it requires that other services are started before it. Resolving service starts can be difficult. Have you made any manual changes to services that would account for the long list of failures ?

You have to uninstall the offending programs (BTW, sometimes you have to REinstall, THEN UNinstall the offending program). One last tip, try doing a 'clean boot' to come to a more stable system. This may or may not work as anti-virus programs can get pretty 'deep' into the OS .... do this: START, RUN, MSCONFIG <enter>, select 'Diagnostic Startup', OK, reboot See if that stabilizes the system and helps as you work to remove the offending software
From: db on 1 Feb 2010 11:12 it would be my firm guess that when you first installed windows it was highly stabled. therefore, I would test the issue of crashes by booting into safe mode and see if windows is stable. if so, then I would initiate a clean boot to disable all startups and third party services so that normal mode can become stable. afterwards you can determine which third party services and startups should remain disabled. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com - nntp Postologist ~ "share the nirvana" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > "AIANDAS" <AIANDAS(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:72C5BAE3-A2BC-40CE-AF60-E78B366D3C18(a)microsoft.com... > I've been experiencing on-going crashes and I go to Event Viewer and it > shows > me that the following services failed to load or error messages came > about: > PSINKNC; PLFLASHJ DEVICE CONTROL SERVICE; NANO SERVICE MAIN; AVGIDS > WATCHER; > AKAMAI SERVICE; ADFS SERVICE;P ZUNE BUS ENUMERATOR; AVGIDS AGENT; AVGIDS > DRIVER; AVGIDS FILTER; AVGIDS SHIM; PSINPROC SERVICE; PSINFILE; > PSINAFLT. > Apologies for writing in caps but I wanted to ensure these things stand > out. > Any advice on how to deal with this will be greatly appreciated.

OK I am about to do the diagnostic startup and hope for the best. I'll repost once I see the offending services have been put in check. Thanks guys!
