    most services are stopped

    I did a complet reload of windows vista and did all the upgrades for service pack 2. It was running fine for a couple of days and when you start it now everything works at startup all the way until it is time to display the desktop it's blank. I can get to the task manager through clt-alt-del and under services the majority of them are stopped. what happened how do I get these turned back on.
