What services are required for IIS and DAO & MDAC etc?

Hi there,
I have a real frustrating thing going on... and I have not managed to sort
it out.

Last week I installed a service pack onto an app I use a lot.
The SP basically wiped my computer out to the point where I thought my hard
drive was stuffed.
Over the course of 3 days I managed to actually get the computer working
enough (albeit very slowly --> 25+ mins just to boot up XP) and I removed
that program I suspect might be a fault.
This sorted it out.
I had to use MSCONFIG numerous times whilst sorting the computer out.
It would seem that MSCONFIG disabled all the SERVICES (as it is designed to)
but for some reason it did so perminantly... i.e. it did not restore them to
how they were previously set up.
I then had to get a list off the net explaining which services I needed to
put back into Manual Start and Auto start mode. All was well...

Yesturday, however, I went to run an .asp based website I have on my local
IIS setup. It has a database that it accesses. Yet I could not longer access
the database.
The Site db access test determines that it does not have the necessary
permissions...
Yet I have not changed the permissions.
I am wondering if there is a service that needs to be running in order for
ADO and MDAC and ODBC etc to work properly?

Does anyone know? Or is there somewhere I can read more on this?
I must say, I have tried starting all that various services that I think
could be related but nothing helped.
Perhaps a whole lot of permissions did get changed during that crash... no
idea. But I have ensured they are set up as instructed in the asp app I
have... no go through. Perhaps ADO / MDAC etc need certain permissions set?
Gosh... I have no idea really!!

Thanks a lot...
My business is on hold until I get this running again...

Regards,

Jonathan
