can't start/stop services Monday, February 28, 2005 at 11:25 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Johnoh (41 messages posted) when I try to run admin tools > services, I get an error message "snap-in failed to initialize". fyi - when I do admin tools > services, the icon next to the word services is that icon you see next to files that windows does not have a file association for, like if you creat a file called abc.xxy, its icon will that same icon. This one: http://web.mit.edu/is/help/klp/win98-images/Unknown-File.gif Also, when I do start > run > mmc > file > add/remove snap-in > add, Services does not appear as a potential snap-in for me to add. On my other machine, it does appear. Its as though its not registered. Maybe there is a DLL I need to register? What should i do?
