All the services that you mention are the way you suggest but i still get Event 7001 in the Event Viewer and my expensive HP (Windows 7 64 bit 16- hundred euros) entertainment laptop has been rendered worthless due to random Freezes costing me hundred of lost hours and emotional agitation.

I have checked the memory for integrity, made all latest windows Updates, checked for viruses, updated all my devices in Device manager, Clean/Unclean booted, Safe/unsafe mode no god damn luck. My laptop even freezes in safe mode. I am about to through it off the window unless you save it the last minute.

    You were asked earlier to do this. Did you do it?

    Anyway, i was able to carry out your above sugestions. The search service was already in automatic start up mode... 

    I told you to change it to Automatic (Delayed Start). This is different to Automatic - see my original instructions below.

    sorry, that was a typo on my part...

    i meant to write The search service was already inAutomatic (Delayed Start) start upmode...

    and i wrote

    The search service was already in automatic start up mode...

    Please download and run the Microsoft Security Essentials removal tool: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/microsoft-security-essentials-removal-tool/

    Yes, sir, i did but the error persists................

    In summary, the service was the way you mention and the fixit removal tool did not fix anything

    Please provide a copy of your System Information file. Type System Information in the Search Box above the start Button and press the ENTER key (alternative is Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information). Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload to your Sky Drive, share with everyone and post a link here. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode.

    Please upload and share with everyone copies of your System and Application logs from your Event Viewer to your Sky Drive and post a link here.

    To access the System log select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, from the list in the left side of the window select Windows Logs and System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do not provide filtered files.

    I would like to see what loads when you boot. To identify what loads when you boot use Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).

    Select File, Save, change the “Save as type” to Text file type using the Scroll to the right and click Save. Please upload the file to your Sky Drive as a shared file and post as a link here.
