Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / September 2004Autostart service isn't starting
I have to manually start the Workgroup service after I restart my computer. It is set to autostart, but it doesn't start. When this happens, I have no network access. I am running two XP Pro computers connected via a 10/100 switch in a simple peer-to-peer sharing arrangement. The network works fine when I start the service manually, but I don't want to have to do this every time I do a restart. Is there any way to force a service to start? >I have to manually start the Workgroup service after I restart my >computer. It is set to autostart, but it doesn't start.

Next point is to check the error message in the system event log. What does it say?

It isn't just this one service. There are no error messages being generated for any of these services. I can start these services manually and they continue to run without any errors being generated. >I have multiple autostart services that are not starting. It isn't >just this one service.

Mark, is the start mode of these services set to Automatic at all? If not, set them to start automatically. If yes, I can't understand why they don't write anything into the system log if they cannot start. Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. > >I have multiple autostart services that are not starting.

They are set to automatic, but nothing is being written to the log. The ones that did start do have a log entry indicating a successful start. I just checked my other computer and all entries marked automatic are running. Looks like my primary computer is having a major services issue. >They are set to automatic, but nothing is being written to the log. >The ones that did start do have a log entry indicating a successful [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Looks like my primary computer is having a major services issue. Mark, yeah, looks like it. (:-) You say they start just fine when you start them by means of the start button? That's kind of strange, perhaps a timing issue. They start later, but they cannot start during the boot process. I don't have many ideas on this one, particularly when there are no log entries. The next thing I would try is a repair installation of Windows XP, unless somebody else comes forward here with a very good idea of how to make these services start automatically. Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. Hello! I have exactly the same sympton... and unfortunately not able to solve (some service do not start while being in automatic and for example the one for network). hope someone can come up with a suggestion > >They are set to automatic, but nothing is being written to the log. > >The ones that did start do have a log entry indicating a successful [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Hans-Georg |
