If you have used these unsupported command line arguments, all bets are off.
Looking at the XP code, the registration of the service is indeed wrong.
Also part of the registration is done via inf files during setup...

For legacy devices, there is another service: the sc helper service.
This one is supposed to run as LocalService too.

If that doesn't fix things, the last check I would make are the registry ACLs on the \
Calais key and it's children. Duplicate from an installation that works.

Beyond this, I believe a clean install of the OS is the option left.

Eric,

When re run the following Script to re-install the ResourceManager, the
serivce setting is changed back to "LocalSystem"

         @ECHO OFF
        REM re-install SmartCard Resource Manager
        %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SCARDSVR.EXE reinstall
        REM re-install PC/SC registry settings
        %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE 
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SCARDSSP.DLL
        REM restart SmartCards Resource Manager
        %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\NET.EXE start scardsvr

Does this mean there is a wrong version of the RM installed in this 
system, e.g. due to
installing the old PC/SC base components. We have checked the FileVersion 
of the 
PC/SC files, they all show the correct WinXP Version.


When we set it to "LocalService" the RM starts, but not all readers are 
found. Does the 
WinXP Version of the RM no longer check the SymLinks 
"DosDevices\SCReaderX" 
created by the driver? In the driver log we can see that this link is 
created but the 
RM does not open the driver. On other WinXP machine it works fine. 

Thanks for you help.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

The services.msc mmc snapin is the easiest way to check. On XP the SCRM 
should be configured to run as LocalService.
