Do you know how I can regain control over these services. I've read that you can use the 'sc config' command from the CMD box to change the services configurations, but exactly how to enter a command to 'ungrey' things I don't know. Also I understand that the services have specific command names if they have to be altered individually. do you know where such a list can be viewed. I have noticed on a friends computer that he has a service called 'Basics Service' - for hardware interaction, which is started automatically. I have not got it. Should I have it with Vista Home Premium, and if so how would I rectify it ? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Jonty Thanks Ramesh my Task Scheduler has changed to AUTO but the controls are still grayed out, as quite a few other property controls seem to be.
