Services and Controller app broken?

    Hey people... A few hours ago I shut down my computer during a bad storm... And my computer had been having problems turning on recently (I think something with the power supply?) but that's another problem entirely... Because I could eventually get it to work.

    But this time after I managed to get the computer on and load onto my account...
    I get the something went wrong with this, report or don't report error window thing for the "Services and Controller app" or services.exe .....

    Then whatever I choose, or if I don't choose, it'll eventually give me a sort of window that says I have 1 minute to quit and save programs before windows shuts down, and gives me the 1 minute countdown.... And turns me off....

    This happened out of the blue... Not sure what I could have done to cause this problem, and definately no idea how to fix this...

    When that window doesn't pop up, after a few minutes of being logged in will result in sending me to a blue screen telling me windows shut down to protect itself or whatever it was....

    Any help on what I can do? I'm running in safe mode right now, that seems to work... Sad thing is I need to use my computer within 2 hours at the latest to do something...

    If all else fails at least tell me how to use my printer while in safe mode?

    I would prefer a fix though, thanks.

    Another item to do, is if this starts happening, QUICKLY:

    Clist START, then RUN, then type in: cmd (press enter).
    type in:

    shutdown /a (press enter)

    This should abort the shutdown process.

    What os and service pack are ye running?

    Did you try either the repair install or the shutdown /a process?
