Event Viewer full of the same error

dlb · Jan 8, 2011

A new error is being generated about every 20 seconds. It's the same error over and over and it's related to the Remote Access feature in Windows. The system is running XP Home SP3. See the attached screen shots for details. The first shot just gives an over-view of what the Event Viewer is showing. It is ALL errors starting on Jan 6 2011 running up to about 30 seconds ago. The 2nd pic shows the properties of the error. Any suggestions will be appreciated....

THANKS!

Did you check the service status in services.msc?

http://www.theeldergeek.com/remote_access_connection_manager.htm shows settings.
Has the user just started using Internet Connection Sharing or changed ISPs?

scroll down to XP and check the dependencies to be sure none of those services is disabled.

Thanks guys! It turns out that the Telephony service is a dependent of the Remote Access service(s) (or vice-versa)... it also turns out that the Telephony service was disabled, and the Remote Access service(s) were set to "Manual". Changing the Telephony setting to "Manual" instead of "Disabled" got rid of the errors. The errors weren't really causing any problems that were noticeable, I just hate an Event Viewer full of red X's. LOL

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction (again :-o ).
