Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / January 2005service control manager with non-admin users
Hi all... My guest account encounters service control manager errors over and over to the point that I can not use it. So I created a new account. That account worked fine until I changed it from an admin to a user account. Now it too gets the service control manager error (though maybe not as much). What is this? and how can I stop it? I thank you very much... John Hi John, What is the exact error message? I mean word for word. When does it happen, under what programs?

All the messages pop up in boxes like the standard Windows message (like the "Are you sure you want to delete this file" message) hope this helps!

Thanks for the link to the virus info. The info there does look exactly like what I am experiencing, but I have run 2 different anti-virus programs, and neither seem to have come up with that worm. The registry entries it mentions are not on my system, though I may have deleted them either manually (I did a regedit for scm*.*) or via one of the anti-virus programs I ran. I do still get the error message, though., Any other tips/help/suggestions?
