Hi,

I have this same problem. I've only just bought this computer with Vista
Home installed.

Have re-started but that doesn't help.

Is there anything else that can help?!

I've tried Virus & Spy-ware checks and nothing comes up.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could come up with an idea

I am having the same problem with all 3 standard user accounts that I setup.
I tried deleteing the accounts and re-establishing them and still receive the
"windows could not connect to the system event notification service."

I have Norton running...is that causing the problem?

Hopefully someone can provide a solution on this problem! I don't want my
kids using the administrator account.

I've spoken with friends in IT and they all say there's no fix. I've looked
online - Microsoft & their software development website.

All say good things about SENS - System Event Notification Service as a new
synchronisation management operational software, which to me just means =
can't be fixed cause its part of the core of Vista.

I've provided administrative rights to the other standard user account, but
you can still use the "Parental Controls" for the kids' accounts to track /
content control. However, kids are quite smart, they'll probably figure out
how to disable it before long.

so you're saying that, you can provide administrative rights to standard user
accounts?? That almost seems like its defeating the purpose... but at this
point, it would be better than not having any standard accounts at all...

I've been following this thread closely as I am experiencing this as well as
a few other annoying glitches with Vista. Yesterday I happened to run a
system restore for an unrelated issue....this morning, to my surprise my son
was using his own account. I couldn't believe my eyes. Who knows how long
this will last, but the only thing I had fiddled with was system restore,
which by the way I happened to select a restore point earlier than when this
system event notification issue crept up.
Good luck...it may work for others.

I'm even having trouble reading this page. Did you ever get an answer to
this question - seems by the # of questions a lot of people are having this
trouble. I'm having the exact same problem and I'm going crazy because my
kids are on my computer. If you received an answer can you tell me what it
is: You can reach me at RVerderame@comcast.net

Hi

In other thread ("standard user loging problems") there was a suggestion to
run the CMD prompt as administrator and run "sfc /scannow". I ran it and
afterwards I could log in with "normal" accounts as well. Again, rebooting
has also helped sometines so I am worried whether this is permanent or
temporary solution. Anyway, if others have success with this, would you
please report it here for the benefit of all?

Thanks
