Installing Beta and RC software is always a risky business and should

This was actually my second rollback to SP2. My first upgrade to SP3 was
done with the RC I downloaded. After the first rollback which was
uneventful, I later reinstalled SP3 through Windows Update.

It was the second attempted rollback that produced the problems. However, a
second attempt succeeded, although I had to go through the activation
process afterwards.

Also, applying a service pack to a
machine already experiencing problems is usually a bad idea unless there
are specific fixes for the problems in the service pack. In view of the
different problems that you are experiencing I can only suggest that you
try a repair install or that you flatten the box and rebuild it.

I have a recovery CD that came with the computer when I bought it from a
retail outlet. I was prepared to use it if all else failed.

At the moment, I'm running with SP2 and everything seems to be fine, with
one exception. At startup, I'm getting a new error in the event log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 6/12/2008
Time: 9:25:54 AM
User: N/A
Computer: TOM
Description:
The Upload Manager service failed to start due to the following error:
The account specified for this service is different from the account
specified for other services running in the same process.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

When I try to start the service manually, I get the same error message, but
preceded by "Error 1079".

Someone once told me that my life would be a lot simpler if I ignored the
Event Log unless there were clearly evident problems with the machine.
AFAIK, everything here is running as it should. If this error in the Event
Log goes unsolved, what wall am I likely to hit down the road?

By the way, thank you for all the help you've given me on the situation
thus far.
