Event ID 7000 (Service Control Manager Timeout)

To work around this problem, increase the default timeout value for the service control manager in the registry.


To increase the timeout value in the registry, follow these steps:


If the ServicesPipeTimeout value is not available, add the new DWORD value, and then set its value data to 60000 in the Control key. To do so, follow these steps: a. Locate and then click the following registry key:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet

b. Click the Control subkey.

c. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

d. Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.

e. Right-click the ServicesPipeTimeout DWORD value, and then click Modify.

f. Click Decimal.

g. Type a value of 120000, and then click OK.

The value is 120000 milliseconds and is equivalent to 120 seconds or to one minute.


Note This change does not take effect until the computer is restarted.
