I think he means Vista.

@poster, did you do anything, like installed some software, after which these problems started?

WTF!!!!

As for the problem, u mentioned that in MSConfig, all services have been stopped. Put a checkmark against all of them and reboot. Try it n let us know if it helps.

OK, then. Run services.msc and see if any services are disabled. Unless u hv or someone/something has meddled with them, they should not have 'Disabled' as their startup type. Set the startup type to 'Automatic' for such services and reboot.

almost all the services have been stopped.
how to change all of the services 's startup type to automatic

As I said before, click Start->Run, type services.msc and hit enter. Dbl-click any service's name and set the startup type.
