a terrible problem in my system

[sumankalyan]

i hav got windows vista home basic
my theme has changed to modified theme and vista standard theme is not present
when i play any audio file it says no driver installed
my antivirus is also not starting saying "firewall has stopped"
when i enable it nothing happens
in msconfig when i checked in services all services have been stopped
in task manager also no suspicious programs are running(i think so)

can someone tell me what to do?

re-install XP.
this is all i can say.

I think he means Vista.

@poster, did you do anything, like installed some software, after which these problems started?

WTF!!!!



As for the problem, u mentioned that in MSConfig, all services have been stopped. Put a checkmark against all of them and reboot. Try it n let us know if it helps.

OK, then. Run services.msc and see if any services are disabled. Unless u hv or someone/something has meddled with them, they should not have 'Disabled' as their startup type. Set the startup type to 'Automatic' for such services and reboot.

almost all the services have been stopped.
how to change all of the services 's startup type to automatic

[Kl@w-24]

As I said before, click Start->Run, type services.msc and hit enter. Dbl-click any service's name and set the startup type.
