Automatic Updates Service Will Not Start

by mark 'techtank' tank . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

While trying to start the Automatic Updates service using:

Net Start “Automatic Updates”

*******************************
I get an error in Event Viewer:

ID: 7023
Source: Service Control Manager
Symbolic Name: EVENT_SERVICE_EXIT_FAILED
Message: The %1 service terminated with the following error: %2

******************************
Querying the service displays:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\CrashTDummy>sc query “Automatic Updates”
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Does anybody know what this error means or how to resolve it please?

Thank you for your time.

Mark.
