Thanks, Ramesh. That starts:
"To resolve this issue, make sure that the following services start
correctly:
• Event Log
• Windows Management Instrumentation
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)"

But all 3 were running OK.

So I tried "For additional information about troubleshooting services,
click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base: 259733 How to Troubleshoot Service Startup
Permissions"

That turns out to be a long and (to me) dauntingly complex page,
overviewe as "To resolve these issues, you can configure the service
to use the built-in system account, change the password for the
specified user account to match the current password for that user, or
restore the user's right to log on as a service."

I'm the only user (Terry Pinnell, Computer administrator, Password
protected), so I assume the part that is relevant is that beginning:
"Member Server
If the user is a member of a stand-alone member server: 1. Start the
Local Security Settings MMC snap-in," which means nothing to me! How
do I start that on XP Home please?

BTW, although at the end that MS article says:
"APPLIES TO • Microsoft Windows 2000 Enterprise Edition"
I assume it also is relevant to XP Home?
