Access Guest account problem
Some time ago I opened a Guest account. As an Administrator I wanted to test this account now, howeve I am not able to access it: After clicking the Guest button Vista takes its time and after about a minute I received the error message: "Windows could not connect to the sens service. Consult the Administrator." I have no idea what the sens service is. Thank you for your help. -- McAlex

Access Guest account problem
The System Event Notification Service (SENS) is a microsoft service which tracks various system events and notifies programs which need to know about those events. For instance, this service will track the disconnection of a device from a USB port and notify programs that need to know about this, Windows itself as a start, and, say, your Nokia PC Suite because, for example, you have just unplugged your Nokia cell phone. Why do you want to access this account? Or is it just that you want to know if anything is wrong? -- tom982 If your expecting a reply from me, just send me a PM - I'm here to help.

Access Guest account problem
Thank you, Tom, for your reply. Well I wanted to test the Guest account, as I expect some guests. Have you any clue, how to get around this "sens" error message ? Thanks -- McAlex

Access Guest account problem
Can you follow these instructions: 1. Open up command prompt 2. Type services.msc 3. Accept the UAC prompt Sort the list alphabetically to make it easier. What does it say next to these services (in both the "Status" and the "Startup Type"): COM+ Event System System Event Notifier Service For example mine says (for SENS): Status=Started Startup Type=Automatic -- tom982 If your expecting a reply from me, just send me a PM - I'm here to help.
