Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>perform_maintain (more info?)
I'm trying to diagnose a problem with Adobe Photoshop Elements, which
installs but doesn't run.
I get an errro "the interface is unknown" and PSE4 wont run.

What worried me now is that hte event viewer won't run either.

I run Sophos antivirus, with Intercheck running continually, and regularly
sweep my PC with SpyBot S&D and Ad-Aware SE. It appears that some shared
file(s) are corrupted, or out of date versions.
My windows CD is XP, not SP2, I kepe up to date via Windows Update which
says I have no updates needed.

Any suggestions welcome !

Event Viewer

Unable to complete the operation on "Security".
The interface is unknown.

OK

Good one, I didn't think the service would be stopped.
But now I get (replace Security with Application or System)
---------------------------
Event Viewer
---------------------------
Unable to complete the operation on "Security".
The interface is unknown.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

It's most certainly not OK Sad

Frustration at the Windows "i've just reported a fault, OK?" dialog Smile
Plus the fault is still there, something seems wrong deep in XP.

Is it possible for a worm (despite the hourly AV updates) to turn off
services?

I checked, and that is for Photoshop CS (the previous version)
I'm using Photoshop CS2 (version 9, not Cool and only a 32 bit CPU.

Thanks, but it's not the solution for me.
