DOCUMENT:Q103741 30-AUG-1993 [W_NT] TITLE :Network-Dependent Services Are Not Removed by Control Panel PRODUCT :Windows NT PROD/VER:3.10 OPER/SYS:WINDOWS KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug #: 11953 SYMPTOMS ======== After removing a service like TCP/IP using the Network portion of Control Panel, when you restart your system, you get several error messages logged in the event log. CAUSE ===== The Network portion of Control Panel does not remove dependent services when you remove a particular service. Because these services cannot find the service they depend on, they generate error messages. RESOLUTION ========== Remove all dependent services. If you are not sure which ones are dependent, note the ones that generate error messages or fail to start. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
