The diagnostics policy service is not running

Given the choice between reformat and reapir install, I'd go the repair route since you retain all your programs and settings and only a few programs need to be reinstalled. As to your problem, it's definately odd. I checked on my computer (Win7 Ultimate 64bit) and the Diagnostic Service is set to Automatic.

Have you checked Event Viewer for any odd messages? (Go to Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Event Viewer)

In the Left Column, Expand the Custom Views and select Administrative Events. In the Center Column look for any relevant error messages

I have to correct my previous post, etalmar, apologies. The policy service (only) is on automatic.
'But, as we now have this thread active, here is a list of the entire defaults for all Windows 7 packages.

Attachment 1646

when i open the event viewer i get an error message:

Event log service is unavailable verify that the service is running.


When i try running the service manually I get:

Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer.

Error 4201: The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI
data provider

You may have a logging error, otherwise your worse fear may be realised! (reinstall)
But go to Windows - System32 - Logfiles.
Enter each folder you find there and delete all the files.
Reboot and see if all is working.
Have a look, also, through my attachment in the previous post and make sure you have everything on its defaults

I believe you have solved the problem ? (GlobeStudios).

I believe this could be marked as solved. The op posted on more than one site and got his answer, as I read it, on one of those sites.
Anyone with the same problem, the solution was from David Shen, of Yahoo, see here:

thanks guys been struggling with the problem for a while

This resolved my problem - the same as above...
Deleting all files in ...Windows\System32\LogFiles\...subdirectories resolved the issue with non working services.

Thanks!

same problem, but i cannot connect to wifi or ethernet or usb tehter from my phone even

... but this thread actually had the solution!! Thank you (k)

Removing the log files.... Sigh.

Btw; you might need Fileunlocker to complete removal of all...

Peace!
