I have disabled too many services in the Services menu so I now don’t have
the right to do changes any more. When I right click on an item and select
Properties nothing happens. Afterwards when I tray to close the window the
Microsoft Management Console tells me: Close all property pages before
closing services. Now I have to use the Windows Task Manager to close the
window. Also the Add/Remove Programs is corrupted, I have only a blank screen
How do I repair these errors? Please help!

It depends on what services you tried to disable. If one of them was RPC
service give it up. Reinstall the fix is not easy and you will likely
always have issues. So exactly what services did you disable? You know you
should NEVER disable a service always set to manual but as usual always ask
first.

Restore the system hive using the %windir%\repair\regback\system file.

If the system hive is corrupt, and assuming you already tried LKG (F8 and
choose Last Known Good), It may be possible to rename the system hive found
in
%windir%\system32\config\system
to system.old
then rename
%windir%\system32\config\system.alt
to
%windir%\system32\config\system

You can also try using the most recent backup found in
%windir%\repair\regback

If that fails you haven't much choice but to copy/ use the
original-as-installed system hive from
%windir%\repair\system
to
%windir%\system32\config\system
You'll need to reinstall the device drivers for any hardware added since the
original OS install.

To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000
Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup
floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD,
use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks. At
the "Welcome to Setup" screen. Press F10 or R to repair a Windows 2000
installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery
Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do not have
the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the
computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery
Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,
and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated,
you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard
disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer: drive
root, %systemroot% or %windir%

Correct, it was the RPC I disabled.
