    WHOA! All Services suddenly disabled, no clue what to do! Help?

    Ummm... this is so weird.

    I turned on my computer and I try to play a song. "No audio device installed" etc. Weird, I thought. Card must've come loose or something. Turns out no.

    All of my processes except for two, the remote procedure call and one other one, are STOPPED and DISABLED! I can't turn them on!

    I'm surprised I can even get on the internet and do most things.

    I load up the Device Manager and its BLANK.

    No weird processes are running in the background. I can't imagine how I could have gotten a virus.

    I can't do a virus scan because Trend Micro's online scan won't update.

    What the hell do I do? Try a System Restore or something? What are my options? Please help-- thanks!

    Another thing is I can't enable System Restore because the Help and Support service is disabled.

    I can't install a virus scanner because the Installer service is disabled.

    I rarely have ANYTHING wrong with my computer. People PAY ME to fix THEIR computers. I have never seen anything like this before. So odd.

    Go into msconfig under run and under the services tab, make sure all services are checked, if not check them

    Whew. Thank you so much. That's never happened to me before. I guess "Disable All" got clicked accidentally.

    Good catch there, dude! Not sure that would have been my first thought. Glad your brain was sharp though...
