You could run a command window with administrative privileges. Type " net
start 'name of service to start' ".
For example [net start "Computer Browser"]

When I attempt to start stopped services, ThinkVantage task scheduler, in
the
Task Manager on a Thinkpad R61i with Vista, an error message says "Access
Denied". If I try to start the services from Control Panel
Administrative
Tools Services, the PC hangs.

How can I start these services. The account has administrative privileges.
