When you click View running services link in the Advanced System Information section in Help and Support Center, you may encounter the following error message while collecting Services information.



Resolution

This happens due to an orphaned Service, which is missing the ImagePath registry value, or if the ImagePath value contains null data. When the Help and Support Center attempts to get the file name (using Split function) from the ImagePath (which contains the null value), the error is shown.

To identify the problematic service which is causing the error, you may use my VBScript. Once you run the script, it lists out all the Services whose ImagePath data is null (or ImagePath value is missing) and outputs to file named OrphServices.txt in C:\

Based on the results, you decide whether to remove the Service (if third-party), or to type the correct ImagePath (for a valid Windows service)
