[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1040877, member: 176704"] OK! I'll put you all (?) out of your "misery" (if you've bothered to contribute to/follow this thread!): That Setup error message, when Googled, points to the services.msc (Microsoft services console) part of Windows, which you access by "Windows" key + "R" and then type "services.msc", or from Windows Explorer, right click on the PC and "Manage" and then select "Services" to get to a long list of Services that have been installed, and most of those[I] should[/I] be running. However, in my case, about 95% had been disabled - presumably by the attempts at removing certain apps :(. However, I went through the list carefully and re-enabled about 85% to either "Automatic Start" or "Automatic Start, Delayed", rebooted the system (took a time as I got a message about "configuring Windows") and when the Desktop came up and stabilised - then "everything worked" as it had done before the "problem". So never forget services.msc if you run into unforeseen problems like I have - and I hope I won't! PS: nobody won the "virtual" pint, and so I'm "in pocket" :-rofl2 [/QUOTE]
