HP Network Devices Support service will not start

Product: HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one (C309g)
OS: Vista Business 32 bit
Errors:
When running the "Add Device" portion of set up to add the printer to my PC so it can be accessed wirelessly this pops up in the back ground: "The specified service does not exist as an installed service."
The result of the above process is the following message in the HP installer screen: "The HP software that enables networking is not responding. Cancel the installation and restart the PC."
As you may guess, I've had this printer for a while couple/few years at least, and I've been running it wireleslly for quite some time.
The printer is active on my wireless network, printing Wireless Network Test Report from the printer proves this. I can also access the printer's webpage by entering its IP in a web browser.
We first perceived the issue when HP Solution Center reported that the Printer was no longer connected. And it suggested doing something with the install, which sent me down the road of unintalls and installs.
I've run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which tells me the printer is installed for use via USB, but the networked instance is not installed.
I still have the orginal instal CD for this printer. Running setup off the root of the CD, i get the "Later Version already installed" or something to that extent. I've also downloaded the most recent Basic and Full Feature Instals from HP site.
I've used Revo Uninstaller to do my uninstalls and I've run CCleaner after all the apps are gone from the program list.
I've read somewhere that this is related to the "HP Network Devices Support" service.
In computer management I can see that its not running, and it is set to start "Automatically (Delayed Start)"
When I try to start this service I get this: "Windows could not start the HP Network Devices Support service on local computer Error 2: They system could not find the file specified"
Somethings that have been done on this machine recently, i'm not sure when the Printer problem started...
Installed Quicken 2013
Installed iTunes
Changed my home network from Public to private on this machine so I could set up some media servers.
I've check through all the quarantined files of my antivirus and there didn't seem to be any HP files in there.
I'm hoping my issue is in fact this service, and somehow replacing the missing file its refferencing will fix it all.
My next step is to uninstall everything again, and make sure that service drops out of the list too, then reinstall from HP download.
This question was solved.

I would suggest using the software scrubber built into the install to clean everything out. The steps below will walk you through it. Before doing step 10 from a CD or step 15 from a download, check the both program files folder to make sure that the HP folders get deleted.
From original printer installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Open My Computer, and then right click on the CD drive and chose open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the uninstall_ L4.bat for non-HP computers. For HP computers run the Uninstall_L3.bat
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

3. Once the download is done extracting, cancel the download.
4. Click the start menu.
5. Click Run.
6. Type %temp% in the run field
7. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
8. Open folder Util
9. Open folder CCC

Already having problem upgrading to Win 8.1 from 8.0 and this isn't helping. Anyone know what I can do to stop the errors? (This post also generated an error stating that invalid HTML was detected and removed and it was a direct copy from the Microsoft error log.)

So what you're telling me is that it's a WINDOWS FILE that the HP Service is looking for? When it's an HP Service that will not start, and not a windows service that won't start? So why are the printers functioning properly, and listed in the proper places (meaning my system sees the P2015dn on the network and uses it with no problems), but the HP service is logging errors? FYI, the only HP network device I have is the printer.
You'll have to explain that one before I go to the trouble of doing a full backup and a clean install of Windows 8, then a full restore. You're talking HOURS AND HOURS here with no gaurantee of success, and I suspect having nothing to do with the real problem of a missing file that is probably authored by HP, not Microsoft.
It's beginning to look like you guys don't know what file it's looking for either. If it's actually a real windows .dll file and you know which one, I should be able to extract it from the windows disk to the proper folder and register it if needed.

SBS Manager Service will not start

I seem to have a bit of a problem the SBS manager service will not start at all. I have tried rebuilding the SBS Monitoring database and this did not help. This started happening a few months after a SBS 2008 to SBS 2011 migration, does anyone have any ideas
as I no longer get reporting or alerts.
At first I thought it might have had something to do with permissions but not too sure how to check and what to check apart from the common things, DB permissions, permissions on folders etc but I may have missed something?

Hi,
Regarding the current issue, since you have tried to rebuild the SBS monitoring database without any help, I suggest we could try to refer to the following article this time to see if it works.
FAQ: SBS 2011. The Windows SBS Manager service terminated unexpectedly

Netlogon and Workstation Service will not start.

I have a Windows 2012 R2 Standard guest installed on the HyperV Machine running windows 2012 R2 with SCVMM2012 R2.
When I install the server the Workstation and Netlogon service will not start. I have only made a clean installation with no extras. I keep getting this error in th system event log:
The Workstation Service depends on the Browser Support Driver service which failed to start because of the following error;
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be a malicious software from an unknown source.
Event ID: 7001
I have searched forums and I have not been able to locate a solution that worked for me.
I have tried to install from another media but the result is the same every time.
Have anyone some suggestion to what I can do to get this working?
Thanks

Hi Jacob,
In addition to Tim’s suggestion, although the following article focuses on the SBS 2008, we can refer to the method it provides to see whether it can be helpful for us to
fix the issue.

Vista SP1 - CF Service will not start

Running Vista Business. Life was good, I was productive! (CF 8 btw).
After installing Vista SP1, CF service will not start. Digging a little deeper, turns out JRUN can't fire off "coldfusion", one of the servers listed. Here is the error:
04/06 11:49:20 error Failed to create new connection
java.net.SocketException: select failed
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)

at jrun.jms.core.kernel.mipc.MultiplexConnectionServer.run(MultiplexConnectionServer.java:15 4)
Some digging turned up the possiblity that the jndi.properties file isn't being read. Changed permissions on it to let everyone in. Heck, you guys can probably get at it right now form where you are its so open!
More digging, turns out Windows Firewall like to block port 2930, which is apparently used for internal communication with jndi settings or some such. Opened that up. Found evidence of further internal communication on port 900, opened that up to.
Found this very useful and a bit scary info about missing DLLs and so forth:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=6&cid=224AA
Found reference to the updated Vista TCP/IP stack being a culprit in some cases, which often seemed to come down to, get this, a new host file entry for localhost: ::1 localhost. Commented that out, still no joy.
Tried reinstalling. Still no go.
Pretty much exhausted all possibilities I was able to think of or find info about.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Or, failing that, the address of a tall building to jump off? Thanks!

Read the manual?!?! No way, never! That would be like... stopping at a gas station to ask for directions!
But seriously, I did poke around there a bit. I do tend to forget that there is more to there is more there than the language reference.
Never been stuck like this though. Probably done over 100 installs dating back to CF4 on just about all windows flavors but have never had to dig in to the guts of the underlying Java like this.
Thinking it has to be something unique to this machine; I have done other Vista installs of CF8 with only minimal issues (typically having to set the service to run under an account that has permissions, maybe even set jrun.exe and jrunsvc.exe to execute under an admin account, but thats about it). Unfortunately, partially because of the environment we operate in, a fresh workstation install is a good day and half to two day ordeal.
Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

CF8 Application Server Service Will NOT Start

I ran into this error:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
and after researching it it seemed that I should up the max heap size on the Java/JVM page, so I increased my max heap size to 1044MB from 512, via the CF Administrator, I also added maxPermSize= 256m. Then I restarted the server, but the Application Server service will not start.
I opened home/runtim/bin/jvm.config and set the heap size to 1024, restart, service still wont start.
Set the max heap size to 512 and removed maxPermSize, restarted server, service still won't start.
Set the entire java.args equal to: -server -Xmx256m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -xx:MaxPermsize=128m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates,{application.home}/../lib,{appli cation.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application. home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars
Restarted, still the services will not start.
Does anyone have any ideas?
The error I get when trying to start the services is:
Windows could not start the ColdFusion 8 Application Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Even Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refore to service-specific error code 2.
Thanks!

Once you have ColdFusion running again this will bring you back to your initial problem:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Suggest take a copy of your working JVM.CONFIG (so you have a backup) then add some debugging to the JVM Arguments eg:
# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server -Xmx512m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -verbose:gc -Xloggc:cfjvmGC.log -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates,{application.home}/../lib,{appli cation.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application. home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars
Once ColdFusion is restarted again a log file will be created called \ColdFusion8\runtime\bin\cfjvmgc.log. Open the log file and you will be able to see how the New, Tenure and Permanent memory spaces are working. Given you now know which buffer is filling (excluding New made up of Eden and a couple Survivor spaces - because those fill and empty all the time) you can make adjustments to JVM.CONFIG knowing which value you intend to alter. Likely you want to alter either Xmx or MaxPermSize. When you think the Java heap space is resolved turn logging off by removing the bolded details.
HTH, Carl.

Coldfusion 8 service will not start. Server log is ending with "Starting license..." (Emergency)

Our server has gone down and the Coldfusion 8 service will not start. There is no information in any of the logs for anything today since its gone down. Ive checked the root logs directory as well as the runtime logs directory.
The server.log is the only file being updated and it shows "Starting logging..." and then "Starting license..." and hangs. The service does not start and the log gets nothing more after this point. Memory continues to go up slowly, we've increased the start timeout tremendously with no effect. There is little to no CPU usage.
Our server is licensed and has never had this problem before. It is the standard version.
Our server is completely down and we are losing clients. From what we can tell a windows update occurred, which we have since removed in case it was the issue, and when the server restarted CF did not come back. We have been working on this for hours with no results.
Please help and let me know anything you may need which will help diagnose our issue.
Thanks

So that others who see this know the solution.
I started Coldfusion from the command line: c:\Coldfusion8\runtime\bin\jrun -start coldfusion. This brought up all the commands as it worked through them. From that we found that CF was looking for license.properties in the C:\Coldfusion8\runtime\lib folder. We found a copy in the C:\Coldfusion8\lib folder. For now we've left it running under my account and then after hours are going to try and see if the service will run now that we've copied that properties file to the other direcory.
Probably simple to everyone on here but was new and odd to us. Wanted to put what we found out here in case it happens to anyone else.

SySAM service will not start

I've installed the SySAM software into the folder C:\Sybase.
Per instructions I copied the license I was given to the licenses folder in C:\Sybase\SySAM\SYSAM-2_0. I instructed the license manager to return the existing standalone license and regenerate as a served license. I trust she did so.
Now the service will not start. I've tried "net start sysam", "sysam start" , and rebooting the machine. I get "service did not respond in a timely fashion error".
What can I do?

Russell,
If the license that you moved to the license folder has incorrect information, than the sysam server will not start.    Verify that the license file contains the hostid and hostname of the machine that is running the Sysam server. If the hostid or hostname is not right, the sysam server will not start.
Also the license file needs to be a served license.   Verify that you see a line in the file with: USE_SERVER
If you don't see that in the license file, than the license is a unserved license.
Another reason why the sysam server will not start is if there is a SYSAMLicenseServer.lic file in the licenses folder.    If there is, remove it.
Try starting the sysam server from the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Sysam
Thanks,
Beverly Duquette

Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that the Windows Search service can’t start with Error 3. Would you
please let me know the version of Windows Server where this issue occurred?
Please open Services and navigate to Windows Search service. Please check if it’s stopped. Please restart it
and set the Startup type as Automatic. Meanwhile, please select Dependencies tab and check if the depended system components run properly.
In addition, please run
System File Checker (SFC) tool to verify if system file is corrupted.
If this issue still exists or I misunderstand the original question, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Meanwhile, please let me know the complete error message or provide a screenshot. Please also check Event Viewer if find some more related clues.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

After Upgrade, Windows Service will not start automaticly

I just upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4. When I did the Windows File Service, will not start automaticly. I can start it manually, after a reboot. Any idea on how to fix this?

I am having the same problem on a clean install of Server 10.4.10, AFP & Web starts automatically on restart, but not Windows Service. This is the first time I have run into this, it starts fine on all other servers I administer. Then entry in /etc/hostconfig for SMBSERVER is set to "-YES-", there is no errors or messages of any kind in the console or system log, it just won't start.
This complicated with the problem I am having on the same server where I cannot connect via ARD after reboot without someone there physically plugging a monitor into the video port first (another open post I have - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5850246#5850246 ). So, doing maintenance at off-hours is almost unworkable.

WDS service will not start Windows Server 2012 R2 with Update

Greetings,
After building my WSE box clean with new hardware and with Update version of WiSE 2012 R2, I find that it let me set up Windows Client Restore but now the WDS Service will not start for love nor money.
Any suggestions? Am I missing a Win-PE boot Image? Should I do something else?
Please assist,

All,
The problem was a conflict between DHCP and WDS. Followed the instructions in this article and all is now fine:
