There are lots of Services and they are not all enabled, so 2/3
disabled Services may not be a problem at all.

Were the Services enabled before you started?

What are some of the disabled Services that you think were disabled?

Here is a list of XP services for SP3 for various configurations:

.

I can only think of a few things that would just turn off those
services. How did you discover they were turned off - did you try to
do something that used to work and then something didn't work and it
lead you to look at the services?

Are you getting specific errors that a Service is not running and can
you start the afflicted service to resolve the issue?

Just how did you run this CheckDisk command? I searched my hard drive
and there is no CheckDisk program. I am familiar with the chkdsk
program though.

Did you use the built in Windows tools to run the Error-checking and/
or Defragmentation tools? If yes, were any issues reported and how
did you respond to the issues?

If you patiently run the built it MS Error-checking, does it run
without reporting any issues?

What is the file association service?

What is the help and security service? Do you mean Help and Support?

if you try to start these services that you think should be running
manually, do they start and if they are started and set to Automatic,
do they start automatically on a reboot?

A shortcut to the Services applet is to click Start, Run and in the
box enter:

%SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s

Click OK to display the Service applet.

Have you run any non Microsoft maintenance type applications where the
product description includes words similar to:

mechanic, doctor, fix up, tune up, cleaner, optimize, etc.?

Hmm, excellent post; esp check disk vs chkdsk. Never occurred to me.
