Re: Vista "System Event Notification"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The thread you reference was from a Vista-specific MS newsgroup: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords/browse_frm/thread/5661ebcf10c3b915/0291831880e48449

Also see this related conversation http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=1408008

Since both threads date from over a year ago, I very much doubt an update for Vista has anything to do with the problems.

Vista-specific newsgroups include:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords
microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management
microsoft.public.windows.vista.games
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_assessment
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail
microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_video
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing
microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance
microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security

My apologies that I think I am in the wrong area, but I can not find a Vista
area to post this to. This seems close because many people believe this
error is a result of a Microsoft Windows Update to Vista, and there are
apparently huge numbers of people with this problem, but no solution that I
can find. If you have a suggestion of a better spot to post this, let me
know.

In any case, you can find dozens of conversations like this one:

For some unknown reason, Vista's "System Event Notification" service just
starts failing. With that, no web traffic will work, and the computer
becomes useless. I ran the "sfc /scannow" utility, and that did not fix it.
I tried running a system restore, but it does not work (likely due to the
same problem).

Question 1: How do I fix this?
Question 2: What is causing this?

Thank you!
