services in windows nt

what?

nooooo. you have to have rights to fool around with services ...like administrator.

One of the services which is configured to be automatic seems to be in a pending state. Can try making the service to manual , retart the machine and try starting the service.

This can occur when there are services still starting up. Simply waiting may be enough. If not, use a win2k/Xp box to open a services snap-in for the computer in question. Try to stop the service which is still starting. If you cannot stop it use something like pskill from http://www.sysinternals.com/ to kill the process remotely. All this assumes that you have admin rights. Of course you still have to identify and fix the root cause.
