Certain Services Loading Automatically on Start-up
I have a recent problem I hope someone can help me with. When I boot up the computer I am unable to access my dial-up networking. When I checked the processes that are running, I noticed that "Upload Manager", "Windows Management Instrumentation", and "WMDM PMSP Service" are not running even though they are set to "automatic". When I attempt to start these processes manually, I get an error message, after some significant delay, that says the services couldn't be started. All of these services are loaded as "SVCHOST.EXE" although I'm not sure what that means. If I wait a considerable time, I am sometimes able to start these services manually and everything is fine. At the next boot-up, however, I'm back where I started with the same problem. This only seems to be the case if I've used dial-up networking sometime during the session. I've checked for viruses using the latest updates from McAfee and nothing is found. I have a dimension 8300, 2.7 ghz, windows xp.
Anyone have any ideas?

Make sure you have the update installed:

You mentioned you have looked for viruses, but didn't mention spyware

Do you have RPC service disabled?? This may be the dependency issue.
Have you checked the windows event log?? You can glean clues there to to services & why they don't start.
