Re: Services stopping on Windows XP

Is there any useful entries in the affected machine's System Event
log ? McAfee has a long history of releasing updates/defs that
have unintended results. Without details - I'd direct my attention
to McAfee.

I have an issue in my user population (about 400 users) all running Windows
XP SP2 with latest updates (via WSUS). A number have reported loss of
connectivity and upon investigation a number of services set to automatic
have stopped including but not exclusively Windows Time, Automatic
Updates,
Browser Service , Server Service and bizarrely Windows Audio.
Occasionally a
reboot sorts the problem but frequently direct intervention and restart of
the affected services is required. All are running Mcafee virus checker
(with latest updates and patches), Windows Firewall is switched off
(firewalling is provided by hardware firewalls). This is becoming a
rather
urgent issue as it appears to be affecting everyone eventually though not
in
any recognisable pattern.
In desperation I have even run several other virus checkers on an affected
system with no results so I'm reasonably sure it isn't viral.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
