Error in services.msc: Error: 54 Unspecified error

servicewindows-server-2003

I'm getting the following error when I click on any service in the services.msc control:

An error has occurred in this dialog.

Error: 54
Unspecified error.

alt text

This is on Windows Server 2003.

As you can see in the screenshot, the error isn't specifying the line or URL so it's not giving me much to go on.

I found the IE 8 wasn't fully installed. It had supposedly installed with a group of Windows Updates. I even got the IE Welcome dialog but when I checked About it was IE 7. I did the download from MS but I'm not sure what actually kicked off the IE 8 Installation. Once IE 8 installed my error when away.
