RE: Help and Support Service - Missing File +=+=+ Long Running Issue

Hello David,

Nice to see you here!

I understand that you got Event ID 10005 and you cannot start the Help and
Support Service. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.

Please understand that based on my experience, issue Event ID 10005 is
complicated and we need time to troubleshoot. In order to supplement your
description, I need your help to gather the following information:

1. Have you tried KB841996 in my another thread? If you set the Startup
type as Automatic or Manual, can you start the Help and Support Service?

841996 The security update that is documented in Microsoft Security
Bulletin MS04-015 does not install correctly if the Help and Support
service is disabled
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;841996

2. Just to double confirm, you mentioned "Could not start the Help and
Support Service on the Local Computer", do you mean the SBS 2K3 Server? If
yes, what is its edition, Standard or Premium? Have you applied SBS 2K3
SP1?

3. When did you meet this issue? Did you make any changes or install any
software/updates on the SBS Server recently?

4. On the server, run "eventvwr" (without quotation marks), check whether
there are any other errors in Application and System. If yes, double click
it, click the Copy button and paste the full content to the Newsgroup.

5. How often does Event ID 10005 appear?

6. I suggest that we schedule a down time to perform a clean boot on the
SBS Server to see whether there is any third party software interference:

a. Click Start->Run, type "MSCONFIG" (without the quotation marks) and
click OK.

b. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click the
"Startup" tab.

c. Click to clear all the check marks from the list box under "Startup".

d. Click the Services tab, check the "Hide all Microsoft Services" box and
then click the "Disable All" button to disable the non-Microsoft services.

e. Click OK to close the MSConfig window. Click Yes when you are asked to
restart your computer in order to enable the changes.

f. After restarting, please check whether this issue still exists.

Please take your time to perform the steps and gather the information for
further research. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
