Error 1920. Service 'Windows Font Cache Service' (FontCache) failed to start

Hi,
I've been trying for weeks now to try to get Office Professional Plus 2013 to install on Windows 8 Pro. My system has been running perfectly otherwise.
When I try to install Office 2013, I get the following message (excerpt from log file):
2012/11/27 22:26:30:885::[4576] MSI(ACTIONSTART): 'Action 22:26:30: StartServices. Starting services'

I have tried everything I can think of, and everything on every thread I've found on related topics. No luck. If I try to start the service myself via services.msc I get the following message:
The Windows Font Cache Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some Services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Hi micrey! It works!
1. Type “services.msc” into the Start Search
bar and hit Enter.
2. Find the Windows Font Cache Service, select
it and hit “Stop”.
3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to “C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local”
requires admin privileges
4. Delete the FontCache dat files. (They will
be regenerated over time.)
5. Restart the Windows Font Cache Service.
Thank you!

Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.

Hi,
When ever I try to install the Apple Mobile Device Support this message shows up "Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I have uninstalled itunes multiple times. I have tried only installing the Apple Moblie Devuce Support by doing the extract file from WinRaff. Nothing has worked. Could you please help me? I'm getting relly frusturated with this whole thing. All I want to do is download songs on to my i-pod.
Thank You,
Aleida H.

I guess the short answer is don't try to pass MSI properties to the installer.
I don't think this is anything your fellow users can help with, but you might want to file a report at Bug Reporter.

Received error 1920 service print spooler failed to start verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

In installing Adobe XI Pro this error message was received "error 1920 service print spooler failed to start verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". What does this mean and how can I get this installed?

It very much means what it says - you do not have sufficient administrative privileges and something on your system is blocking the (virtual) PDF printer driver from being installed.

Acrobat 8.1.7 -- Error 1920.Service Print Spooler?

I have a valid key on an installed version of Adobe Acrobat 8.1.7. (AA8 Standard installed on a XP system)
It fails to create a PDF document and the Error 1920 apprears before it shuts down.
When, per representative suggestion, I attempt to uninstall it and then re-install with the valid key, it then reports:
Error 1920.Service Print Spooler (Spooler) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services.
I verified that I have a valid key on My Adobe using my email address, etc.
But I see no way out of this 'dead end'.
After attempting to remove or repair the installation in add/remove programs, I get the support info:
Adobe Acrobat 8.1.7 - CPSID_50029
But when I go there I see nothing that tells me how to fix the problem.
How do I unstall and re-install this so I can continue to use my AA8 on my XP system?

David:
I found that helpful input, yes.
The tech I spoke with told me to use a cleaner program to force erasure so
I could reinstall it.
He failed to tell me that you better be sure you have your original disk,
because you can't download AA8 via a web.
The best solution is to upgrade, which I would be more likely consider if
some consideration were given for all the headaches of trying to get AA8
back up and running.
The principal being "If you can't make what I already have work, why should
I pay for your update?"
I will continue to look for the disc and let you know how that goes....

Service 'MSExchangeTransport' failed to start

Good morning all,
I am trying to install exchange 2010 on a Windows 2008 R2 sp1 server. We have an existing exchange 2003 instance on our old server, a windows 2003 sp2 SBS server. We had an awful lot of DNS problems and active directory troubles when getting
this server installed (its a domain controller) but everything seems to be ok. However, whenever I try to install exchange I get the following error:
"Service 'MSExchangeTransport' failed to start. Check the event log for possible reasons for the service start failure"
I've ensured that IPv6 is enabled, I've checked that the .net port sharing service is started and I've tried changing the service to run as a local user with access to the desktop, I'm still getting the same error.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi
   Do you see any event error ?
   You can open ExchangeSetup.log and find out the reason.
   I just search same cases.
The cause of the problem is that the msExchServerSite attribute on the server object does not get updated automatically and the Microsoft Exchange Service Fails to start.
open adsiedit
   a. Browsed to location: CN=USA,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=exchange,DC=local
b. Copied the distinguishedName value of the site and pasted it in a notepad.
c. Again browsed to location: CN=Servers,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Exchange,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=exchange,DC=local
d. Kept refreshing this location until my Exchange 2010 HT server name papered there. The moment it appeared I did the below steps real quick.
e. Opened Properties and located attribute:
msExchServerSite
f. Double clicked on the attribute and pasted the value that I copied from site distinguishedName.

Scheduled Task as Service Account - Failed to Start 2147943785

I am attempting to run some powershell scripts that update membership of groups based on role attribute on users, then also grabs members of some groups and updates other groups with these members.
I've delegated access through "security" to give this service account write:member and write:memberof for the Groups OU and write:memberof for the OUs containing the user accounts.
I've updated my Default Domain Policy to give this service account Log On As Batch Job permissions.
The scheduled task is running from a Domain Controller.
When I attempt to run the task as the service account I receive the following:
Task Scheduler failed to start "\SITE Role Membership" task for user "DOMAIN\GroupScripts$". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943785.
What am I missing here?

Hi Allister,
Please follow these steps t troubleshoot:
Type "gpedit.msc", try to configure the following policy:
[Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment]
1. Log on as a batch job.
2. Allow log on locally.
Add the service sccount domain\username to these two policies.
Refer to:
Task Scheduler failed to start - Additional
Data: Error Value: 2147943785
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Hi,
Did you do any change after publishing Lync topology?
Please run Step 2- Setup or Remove Lync Server Components again and then test the issue.
You can try to restart FE server and then test again.

SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service is failing to start

Hi All,
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition. When i start SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service it is failing to start and gives the below error.
On analyzing the Event logs i found the below event.
The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 14 time(s).
Event id 7034
Event source: Service Control Manager.
I opened the SQL server configuration manager to change the service account and start the service, But that is also failing and it is giving the below error.
Can any one help in this issue ?
Gautam.75801

Like Olaf said SQL Server Agent is available in express but cannot be enabled. This is restriction from MS. The reason is that(why its available and disabled) when you upgrade express to enterprise/standard it just uses this disabled SQL Server agent and
enables it. If this feature was not present SQL Server upgrade process would have to write whole code for SQL agent Which I am sure it does not do while upgrading to standard/enterprise.

Can you let us know if you get any Blue Screen crush error while using your comptuer?
Generally we can safely ignore the errors in the Event log. Aas we don't if you have get other issues in your computer, you can test your computer in the Clean Boot mode. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service.
You can try the the following steps:
1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
Please test this issue in this Clean Boot environment, if the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can use the dichtomy to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue. You can refer to the
KB929135.
Good luck!

This is a very poor answer. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about because if you tell someone its ok to "safely ignore the errors in the event log" as a blanket instruction ESPECIALLY because as he stated so himself
he didn't know if there were other issues with the OP's pc then he's giving really bad advice. If you ignore errors in the event log then over time your system will degrade and you will have other issues.. Every error on your pc should NOT be ignored.
It should be decided on a case by case situation.
Furthermore this is an error involving the Windows Session which it states has failed. Definitely should NOT be ignored.
I've got the same error which has suddenly just showed up. No BSOD, Do not have WHS installed and all my media center connectors have NEVER been connected. I don't believe this is a service issue. I think it has something
to do with kernel event tracing.
Of course, it's just my opinion....I could be wrong!

On Windows 7 Enterprise OS, Firefox failed to start when upgrading to any higher versions after 6.0.2

Hi
Please can you help me with this?
Currently I am running Firefox version 6.0.2 on my Windows 7 Enterprise OS Desktop.
When I try to update Firefox, installations completes successfully. However when trying to launch Firefox, browser window is not opened. It was showing a 'Firefox failed to start' error message for versions before 11. For the latest version i.e 11, no error messages are displayed. When trying to launch application, no browser window is opened, but I can see Firefox process running in Task Manager. I tried to do a clean install by removing all add-ins and also deleting Firefox folder under program files. It did not solve the problem.
Thanks
Chandra

Ok, well let's try going straight to what the problem probably is, a corrupted profile.
Can you please read [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles], and create a new testing profile? Start Firefox 6 up using the new profile, then close it. After you've done that, upgrade to Firefox 11, and try starting, again using the new profile. If everything works, then you just had a corrupted profile, and you can read [[Recovering important data from an old profile|Recovering important data from an old profile]], which explains how to transfer your data from your old one to your new profile.
Let me know if this helps!
