All services in Windows XP disabled

Turned on the computer today, no internet, looked around and there was no
device manager, and found all services disabled.
I removed my drive and mounted it in another computer and scanned for virus.
None found.
I am not able to find any information on the problem with search engines or
in new groups.
Anyone have any ideas about what can cause this to happen?

Strange, the same thing happened to my friend's laptop... just looking around for a fix or anything to work on, nothing much on the net though! Going to run a few things like HijackThis and a MalwareBytes scan now... I'll let you know how I get on...

Bits and pieces found in HijackThis... removed them and then ran a Windows Repair... that finished and then a lot of services were started again... had to go through the list and enable/start some myself though... Here's a list of what's default on XP http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm

Good luck!
