Settings won't hold!

[Zenobia]

No,it is the Security Center service not shown in Spybot,the file scanner service is there.
(Fred says rrrrrrrrrrr,click click,with mild thunder sounds,must be in a good mood today.)

Please go back into services,click on Spybot S & D 2 Scanner Service,if it isn't running,then click Start over to the right,let me know if you get any errors.

[Flyvapnet]

I appreciate your help, Zenobia! I'll be down the hall in the waiting room. *leafs through old magazines*



Addendum: I didn't see your last post, Zenobia! (Sorry.) Well, everything's running now; so I'll wait until the next re-start and then check the "Services.msc" thing again. Asuka is laughing at me, the little brat! Does Fred ever show you disrespect?

[Zenobia]

Oh,yes.From the random times when the keyboard suddenly doesn't work when booting up for no known earthly reason,to taking almost 5 minutes to open a browser,then opening 10 pages all at once,Fred has been rudely pulling passive aggressive shenanigans right from the start,lol!

If you don't get any errors when starting the Spybot file scanner on next reboot,you could also look in the Event Viewer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427
Try looking under System log.Are there any event logs there with a red x that say Service Control Manager?

[Flyvapnet]

Zenobia, Asuka and I are hoping you and Fred can help us! I did the Start> Run > Services.msc thing right after the computer last loaded. "Spybot-S&D 2 Scanner Service" was "Stopped" so I clicked on "Start" and it started.

Then, I decided to look at "Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service" and it too was "Stopped"; but when I clicked on "Start" it began to start (a dialog box with a progress bar appeared) then abruptly halted and showed this error message:

Could not start the Spybot-S&D Security Center Service service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Repeated clicks on "Start" produced the same error message. I tried it again just a few minutes ago, but it still won't start (same error message as before). What's odd is that the "Settings" menu, that big box with all the tabs, thinks everything's up and running; and so does the pop-up box which is activated by mousing over the Spybot logo in the bar at the bottom of the screen. (I can never remember what that bar is called.)

Something's obviously amiss. Spybot thinks everything's running but Windows begs to differ! Now, here's (nearly) four days of red-X log entries containing "Service Control Manager" from Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools > Event Viewer > System:

Are you familiar with editing the registry?
This is the Event ID 7009 page,it does mention editing the registry to increase the time before you get a timeout error,which might help:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...=ws.10%29.aspx

Please don't follow that page just yet,because you'd want to back up the registry first,before doing anything,just let me know if you're comfortable with registry editing.

The security center service doesn't show in Spybot's settings on my XP,it only shows in Services,and isn't set to run.Is the Spybot security center service visible in Akira's Spybot settings?

[Flyvapnet]

Yes, Zenobia, I'm comfortable with editing the registry. No, the Security Center Service doesn't appear in Asuka's Spybot "Settings" window; and I'm wondering why it doesn't.



Anyway, I'm prepared to edit the Registry and await your further advice on that matter. Asuka AsukaObserve01A.jpg and I appreciate your help, believe me!

[Zenobia]

My Security Center Service doesn't show in Fred's Spybot settings,either,and another member of the forum said their's didn't show either.I'm not sure why.
So I booted up Fred,and had a look in Services.msc,and my Security Center Service is set to Automatic,and starting it gives me the same time-out error.After you change the timeout time in the registry,that may give the security center service time to start.

Ok,please refer to this page and follow the directions so you can make a complete registry backup:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/window...ackupxpreg.htm

After you've backed up the registry,you'll need to see if ServicesPipeTimeout is present.
In regedit,navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
In the pane over to the right,look and see if ServicesPipeTimeout is located there.Then follow either a or b below,whichever is applicable.

a.If ServicesPipeTimeout is located in the pane to the right,then you just need to edit it.
Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
Click Decimal,type 120000,then click OK.
Exit the registry,then reboot your computer.

Or:
b.If the ServicesPipeTimeout is not located in the pane over to the right,then you'll need to create and modify it.
On the Edit menu, point to New,and then click DWORD Value.
Type ServicesPipeTimeout,and then press ENTER.
Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout,and then click Modify.
Click Decimal,type 120000,and then click OK.
Exit the registry,then reboot your computer.

This should give your services a bit more time to start,before the time-out happens.After you reboot,after everything has started,wait for a minute or so,then please look in Spybot settings to see if the file scanner started.
Then go to start,run,services.msc,and let me know if the Spybot Security Center service started as well.

As an aside,Fred is apparently feeling quite useful at the moment and has set aside all time travel excursions,because he actually has the correct date,and his clock is only 2 minutes out.That's the first time that has ever been even remotely close to correct.

[Flyvapnet]

Thanks a bunch, Zenobia, for your crystal-clear instructions! I backed up the registry, for the first time ever. I bookmarked your latest message and that About.com page you linked. It turned out "ServicesPipeTimeout" was not located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control, so I created the entry via your instructions.



After the "Restart", the "Scanner Service" was indeed running (according to Spybot's "Settings"); but when I went to "Services" I discovered "Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service" was not running. I clicked on "Start" in its "Properties" box; and it tried to start (dialog box with progress bar appeared) but was immediately overridden by a dialog box which asserted that same old Error 1053 (no timely response). It's as if it's being locked out by some aspect of the Spybot software.



Good news: After the above-mentioned "Restart" and after all the start-up items were safely aboard, I moused over the Spybot icon in that bar at the bottom of the screen (What's its name?) and the little pop-up box indicated everything was running! That hasn't happened in ... a long time, so Asuka 43387213.jpg and I are happy. (No mention of the "Security Center Service" is made in the little pop-up box, even as that function is mysteriously absent from Spybot's "Settings".)



So, what to do about the recalcitrant "Security Center Service"? Asuka has gone outside to nap d325275f6e864115481b95b2bdeae364.jpg (she likes sleeping in the elements) but told me to pass on her greetings to both you and Fred.

[Zenobia]

Me and Fred say hello back(actually Fred said Hello,pleaseremindZenobiashepromisedtoinstallthenewerharddriveandinstallpuppylinuxforme,then went on sputtering a bunch of things about 1's and 0's,he's a strange one,that Fred.)

The bar going the whole way across the screen is the taskbar,and then the area by the clock is the notification area.Though I keep wanting to call it the whatchamacallit bar.

When I first noticed the Security Center Service didn't show in Fred's Spybot settings,I assumed that was by design.But then when I noticed that it was set to Automatic in Services.msc,I guess perhaps it isn't by design,maybe the Security Center Service doesn't start quickly enough to run on most XP's,or something like that.

The Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service integrates Spybot into the Windows Security Center.That means that Windows Security Center would alert you if Spybot were out of date,or turned off.If you were okay with doing so,those two elements of Spybot could be monitored by you,if you choose to.If you mouse-over the sdtray icon,this tells you if Spybot is out of date,and also if Live Protection is on,off or partial.
If you wouldn't mind going without the Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service,then you could set that service to manual.Go to Start,Run,type services.msc,scroll down to Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service,doubleclick it,set the start up type to manual,then click Apply and Ok.

If you would prefer to have the Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service running,since I'm unsure as to why it doesn't show in Spybot's settings on Windows XP,and whether that is intentional or a bug,you could ask Spybot support about it.There are forms to contact them here.

Zenobia, you and Fred have been an immense help to Asuka and me; and for that, we thank you! AsukaLangleyGift.jpg I believe we can safely say, as Sergeant Preston of the Yukon SergeantPreston.jpg used to do at end of each episode of his television series back in the 1950s, "This case is closed!"



Regarding the heretofore mysterious "Spybot-S&D 2 Security Center Service" which seemingly wasn't functioning, I went to Start > Settings > Windows Firewall > Exceptions > Add a Program > My Computer > Asuka (C : ) > Program Files > Spybot - Search & Destroy 2 > "SDWSCSvc.exe" and added that file as a firewall exception. Then I opened the Spybot Settings window and under the System Integration tab I beheld "Windows Explorer integration (32 bit) - Plugin responsible for showing you options to scan files and more when right-clicking"! Yay! It's there!
