Here we go again. Microsoft is as it already, as is HP/Compaq.
I just bought a new, Compaq Presario 6210 laptop that has Vista Home
Premium installed on it. I created a new user account with
non-administrative privileges for my wife. When I attempted to log in
as her to test the account, the login failed with an error that "Windows
could not connect to the System Event Notification Service service" at
which point the laptop returns to the login screen.
I logged back in as myself, was notified by the system that there was a
problem with the System Event Notification Service service. I went into
the Serivces area and verified that the service is showing up as
automatic/running.
Even after restarting the service, her account was unable to log on
stating that Windows could not communicate with a service that is
clearly running. This is ridiculous.
The imbeciles at HP/Compaq - what a bunch of idiots - say that I need to
rollback to a previous date which I flatly rejected as being a viable
"solution". (I'm surprised that they didn't say to send the unit back
for repairs!)
Does anyone know how to solve this problem without having to have every
account on the laptop an administrative account?
