Services MMC Extended View
is Blank in Windows XP

The Extended view of Services Management Console (services.msc) displays the service description and also has links to Start or Stop services. In some systems, the Extended view may appear blank, as in figure below:

This has to do with broken JScript.dll registration.
To fix this problem, login as Administrator, and then go to Start, select Run
Type: regsvr32.exe  jscript.dll
Press: ENTER
You should see the output message "DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded."
This fixes the Extended view. Close and re-open Services MMC.
