Have a number of services that give me an error a dependency failed to
start or 'module not found.' So far I have not been able to find info
on which Dependencies are associated with which Services. When I
highlight a Service and select 'Dependencies,' I get a popup -
'Interface: Class not registered.' Where can I find a list of
Dependencies for Services?
Finally, where do I find a list of which services should be
started/stopped and which should be Auto/Manual/Disabled?
An incomplete list includes

Dependency failed to start
Logical Disk Manager

Module not found
Application Management
WebClient
Human Interfacce Device

Hi Lunis,

>> I get a popup - 'Interface: Class not registered.

Is the WMI service started and running?

And if it matters,
I can select any service, select Dependencies, and get 'Interface:Class
not registered.' Every one I have tried gives this error.
going through MMC wmimgmt.msc, when I select 'Actions>Properties' I get
'Failed to connect to <Local Computer> because Interface:Class not
registered.'

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, make sure that the following services start
correctly:
• Event Log
• Windows Management Instrumentation
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
All services started.

Did that. MSinfo32 still throws the same error.
Tried Depenedencies again and still get 'class not registered'

Check if there are "DCOM" entries in the Application Event logs. I'm wondering if this is inter-related with the other problem (Disk Management console) you're facing.

Somewhat related.
Services - on a number of them, when I try to start the service I get
'specified module could not be found.'
Where can I find what module is needed?
Where is the module supposed to be?

The module name varies for each service.

For AppMgmt Service, see this KB (for XP Home)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328213

WebClient
%SystemRoot%\System32\davclnt.dll

Human Interface Device Access
%SystemRoot%\System32\hidserv.dll

Where %SystemRoot% represents the path to your Windows folder.

Very good. I now have only 2 services throwing off 'module not found.'
WebClient - davclnt.dll exists in system32 folder. Uncertain why XP
complains it can't find it.
Appmgmt - used the link you provided. The file appmgmt.dll (also found
a site calling it appsmgmt.dll) does not exist on my HD. According to
the web site
"To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to
obtain the hotfix." Went to
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support
Can't find a number/email for Microsoft Product Support Services.

Lunis,

The WebClient service needs the following file also:

%SystemRoot%\System32\webclnt.dll

=> Can't find a number/email for Microsoft Product Support Services.

Microsoft PSS contact info is given in the link below:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support

BTW, it's the same link referenced in KB328213.
