I cant start BE services

[Alex_w]

 hi, I' having trouble starting backup exec services, I'm using ver 10, I have all the dependencies started. I changed the services from the ones that start automaticlly I changed to manual, and started them. The ones that were manual I restarted and I just cant get it (backup exec srvc) started. Plus it wont let me log on to the mediaserver. This is on my personal Win2k3 standard edition server. I installed the same version at work last week on 8 servers and had no problems. Both networks run in a workgroup config.

Hi Alex,

Is the service account you're using a member of the Local Admins group on that workstation/server?
Have you tried changing them all to Local System Account in Services.msc and then starting them up that way to test? If they do, reset them all to the Server\serviceaccount name, except for Remote Agent for Windows which must stay on Local System Account.

Cheers!

Number 2 and 3 are parts of an old zonealarm installation I used to run. I use an assortment of freeware that is supposed to remove parts of old applications that are still on the machine also I use 2 different types of registry cleaners that claim to do the same thing. can anyone recommend an app. to do the cleaning, that has a proven track record with them.
