A short briefing on Windows services:
Services: Services are applications that run in the system background. Some of these services need to be started in order to complete the activities. For Services go to Start->All Programs->Administrative tools->Services. To start a service, double click the service that you wish to start, and in the Properties window make sure the Startup type is Automatic and then click on Start. Then click OK.
Some services have Dependencies that need to be started before starting the service. To view a service’s Dependencies double click the service to open the Properties window, and click on the Dependencies tab. Expand all of the dependencies. This window shows the services that this service is dependent on. If you are unable to start a particular service, make sure all of its dependencies are started and then retry.
Please let me know if you find any other solution/work around . Thank you
