RE: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I'm having the same problem but ONLY on Windows 2000 machines. If my app runs
on XP or Win 2003 Server it can manage the services completely EVEN on remote
machines without any special permissions/login setup. On Windows 2000 the app
can't even view the list of services locally. Is that different from what you
see?

So far I haven't been able to find out what "privileges" are required. Sorry
to offer no help here...
