Question : Multiple services are terminated unexpectedly at startup in XP Pro

This is the exact same issue as Andyabra has as a current open question. Anyway I can find out if the was in fact resolved?
My issue also involves an XP Pro PC NOT connected to a domain though, it's currently an active P2P server for small office. and the detailed comments andyabra gives of all the Events are the exact same as mine issue from what I see. I can load the server and computer browser manually after boot up ,but this is not a way to run a system let alone an active server.
I'm considering doing a system restore, the problem only started last Monday, but not 100% confident it's going to resolve the issue.

Help!!

Copy of Question as posted by andyabra:

On a WinXP Pro client in a W2K domain... the following services do NOT start on machine startup - all set  for automatic, all enabled for this profile:
     Computer Browser
     DHCP Client
     Workstation
     Server
As a result, network resources are unavailable.  If I manually start the services, everything works fine... until next restart.  
Event viewer shows a bunch of related errors... 7000, 7001, 7031, 7034.  About 20 services fail to start (Terminal Services, WinTime, etc.) some with the additional error message "pipe state is invalid"
Haven't been able to find much on MS KB, maybe someone out there can tell me how to fix this??
 

Answer : Multiple services are terminated unexpectedly at startup in XP Pro

Had to get ready for work and then drive in.:)

Once you have the WIN32_EXIT_CODE at the command prompt type in:

net helpmsg WIN32_EXIT_CODE  where WIN32_EXIT_CODE is the value returned when you ran SC QUERY SERVICENAME

No guarantee you'll get any more help than what was provided by the Eventlog service, but it is a start....

Your problems may also be the result of one specific service that is not firing correctly. For each of the services failing use the SC ENUMDEPEND {servicename} to try to narrow down your problem to one or two specific services that may be having problems.

Probably need to setup a matrix. A column Listing all the failing services and a Row Listing all the dependent services.
See if you can find a common demoninator (ie. failing service)
