Server Execution Failed

[asb2106]

Please Help,

I am working on a laptop here at the office for a co worker, and I cannot load the network settings and the USB doesnt work. Other problems might be there but those are the only ones I have noticed at first glance

When I rest on the Network icon in the taskbar (VISTA) it says Server Execution Failed.

I have tried a system restore and I have restarted all services I could find that are remotely related to this. After googlin the issue I have found it to be tied in with AIM on Vista, among other things.

Has anyone seen this or found a solution that doesnt require a reimage?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! THANKS!

Have you tried adding Administrator to Local Users & Group.This has fixed some people's problem with "Server Execution Failed",but I think they were also getting a warning in event viewer - the error 7023 "The Network List Service service
terminated with the following error: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."

Fix taken from here -

>>Click "Manage"
>>Under the "System Tools" section, Double click "Local Users and Groups"
>>Click "Groups"
>>Right click "Administrators"
>>Click "Add to group..."
>>Click "Add"
>>Click "Advanced"
>>Click "Find Now"
>>Double click "Local Service"
>>Click "Ok"
>>"NT Authority\Local Service" should show up in the list now

Did you try the command prompt way

get admin command prompt by clicking Start

then in the search box type "cmd"

Then press CTRL + Shift + Enter

you will have a

C:\Windows\system32>

then you type

net localgroup Administrators Local Service /add

hit enter

Thanks,nice one -everyone is happy now,glad you got the problems sorted.

I personally like Vista but it can be a bi*@h at times.

EDIT:One question -where you trying to connect to a new network when this problem started or was it out of the blue?

well i dont know, it was a field superintendents computer. And it started doing it right after AIM was installed. funny eh?

So right now I am re installing aim to see if the problem comes back up again. From all the reading I have done here it looks like a problem with certain programs just disabling something. Really weird

After a reinstall of aim and a restart everything still works fine, but I have heard its from a Viewpoint program that AIM trys to install with AIM.

HMMM Viewpoint-that program has come up before
