Unable to “open” services for Windows 7 32 bit anymore
Windows 7 32 bit laptop
I used to be able to open the services but it doesnt open anymore.
I have tried opening it by...
- typing "services" in the search box
- going to Control PanelSystem and SecurityAdministrative Toolsservices
When I click on it, nothing happens. I cant see any errors in event viewer either.
This laptop is part of a domain, and my id has admin privileges. I can open add/remove programs, install/uninstall stuff etc. But services don't open. I have also tried to be on the domain (VPN into work) to make sure its not related to domain not reachable etc.
Not sure how to figure this out.
Thanks

What about opening empty console and adding services snap-in manually?

Added the "services" to an empty console manually. The addition happens and then when I click on the services to open it....it just hangs (Not responding)

Can you open any other snap-in from that list? And have you tried doing that in safe mode?

What if you go to Start, type "services.msc", then right-click and Run as Administrator?
