    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Try a system restore, this is how...

    System Restore

    System Recovery Options

    Go back at least 5 days before you had the problem and do the restore. If you don't know very much about the registry don't mess with it even if someone else tells you to do so. Most of the members don't mess with theres as they know one little boo boo is all it takes, good luck on fixing your computer

    I'd do what Tom suggests, the registry is sensitive at the best of times, services tend to be an essential part of the operating systems functionality, as you've found out the hard way, let's hope this will be a lesson learned?
