My Guest account is turned on but when I try to log in, after a long Welcome sreen, the following error message is displayed:

Other accounts can be crerated and logged on.  I saw information about the issue that I have at;

The SENS is supposed to be set to Automatic.  When I go to set SENS to Automatic I get the following error;

'The delay auto-start flag could no be set' - 'Error 87: the parameter is incorrect.'

Here's some of my basic information:

Windows Vista Home Premium (32-Bit)
HP DV954US Notebook
Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.34
Loggon Admin. Account

I have no ides what the deal is or how to go about fixing it.  Help please, thanks.

Are you sure you're not choosing "Automatic (Delayed Start)" when you try to set it to Automatic?  

If you cannot do it via the SERVICES.MSC window, try these commands from a Command Prompt run as Administrator:

NET STOP SENS
NET START SENS

or you could try

SC STOP SENS
SC START SENS
