I see errors like this happening when there is some driver problem with the NIC.

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the network card device, Action menu, "Uninstall", then restart Windows, to find
the device drivers
again automatically.

Its because of a virus named conflicker, go for windows xp sp3 security updates. They'll resolve the problem.

Really weird one.
Small network, workstations all XP SP2 and updates.
MACfee Anti Virus Software, Corp Edition all up to date.
One of the machines on the network will simply just stop some services
on its own accord. Normally happens right after logging off, but also
happens while machine is logged on.

Services stopped are:
· Automatic Updates
· Computer Browser
· Cryptographic Services
· DHCP Client
· Distributed Link Tracking Client
· Error Reporting Service
· Help and Support
· Logical Disk Manager
· Secondary Logon
· Security Center
· Server
· System Event Notification
· System Restore Service
· Task Scheduler
· Themes
· Windows Audio
· Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
· Windows Management Instrumentation
· Windows Time
· Wireless Zero Configuration
· Workstation

Users logging on and off do not have admin rights on the machine, so
presumably the services are not stopped using the user rights.

Already reloaded SP2, full virus scan, spyware / addware scan, just no
success.
From what I could see, it does not happen if the network cable is
unplugged.

HELP!!!!

Hello Sports Fans...

I believe I found a fix for XP shutting down all the services. The actual fix is fairly easy. It's getting the utility onto the affected PC with the issues that can be the challenge. There is a fantastic utility out there called Dial-A-Fix. It can be downloaded at this site:

http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix

I checked the site while typing this to make sure it's still available and it is. Please send this guy a couple of bucks. He deserves it. I did.

I ran all of the services in Dial-A-Fix so I am not sure which one ultimately did the trick but I am fairly certain it was the Repair Permissions utility. In Dial-A-Fix click the hammer button across the bottom of the GUI. Repair Permissions is in the list. If you are using XP Home you may need to copy the SECEDIT.EXE file that comes with Dial-A-Fix into Windows\System32 folder before running the utility.

The problem is with no services running you can't use a USB flash drive or network connection to get Dial-A-Fix onto the affected machine. I had to extract it, burn the two files to CD, insert the CD into the laptop, open a CMD window, change to the CD-ROM drive then type dial-a-fix.exe to run it form the CD. Again if you have XP Home, at the CD-ROM drive command prompt you may need to type:

e:\copy secedit.exe c:\Windows\System32

(where e:\ is the correct drive letter for your CD-ROM drive.)

After you are done running that and all the other tools in this utility, restart the computer and turn-on all the services. I did it and have restarted 10 times. It's holding!

If you need a copy of Dial-A-Fix send me an e-mail and I will send it to you, but the guy that designed it really deserves all the credit - and money.

Good luck,

Ron

I also encountered this problem lately. I think it is some sort of DoS attack or some software stops Server and Workstation service.

I hope there will be a cure for this soon because it is very inconvenient to turn on services all the time.

We also have encountered the same problem here in our Windows Server 2003. For the meantime we have temporary solutions by setting the Recovery to "Restart the Service". By doing this:

1. Go to Administrative Tools - Services
2. Right Click "Computer Browser" then Properties
3. Click on the Recovery tab, set the following:
First Failure = Restart the the Service
Second Failure = Restart the the Service
Subsequent Failures = Restart the the Service
Reset Fail count After = 120
Restart Service after = 0
4. Click Ok

Repeat from procedure number 2 to the Services stopped.

Hope this helps.

I have the same problem and so far still no virus was found in several AV I tried. someone told me that this is not a virus but instead a bug from MS update. right now what really matters to me is to know what really is this. and what causes this. even if there's no solution yet. I hope at least we have to know where did it start.

maybe we could share our computer state when this problem first occurs.

my computer is in:

Dial-a-fix is not a solution, did not fix the problem and no, there is nothing wrong with any permissions (at least on my oses). It-s netwprk related.

This is not caused by an attack, a virus or something like this. But i bet this problem it's a bug introduced with nlite.

Is there anybody here using something else but a nlited windows version?

Just do a fresh install with the network cable unplugged, apply the patch and try tu use a good antivirus. I recommend Avira, free edition, but with the latest updates. Then you will be ok.

FYI...We've been seeing a similar issue and for us it has to do with the automatic updates service consuming too much memory because of a memory leak. It would then crash the instance of svchost.exe hosting automatic updates, which would stop all of the other services running within that instance as well. The hotfix KB927891 has fixed the problem for us. Although an older patch, it contains an updated msi.dll for the Automatic Updates service (wuauserv). The servers with the memory leak problems are using msi.dll version 3.1.4000.1830. The patch replaces that with Msi.dll ver 3.1.4000.4042.

Hopefully this helps...

Sounds like a vulnerability on your Windows 2003. Its mentioned on MS08-067.

Even though it doesnt say anything about shell32.dll, I've known people with
the same problem as you and installing this hotfix, the problem was solved.
You should try it.
