If you have a large number of check boxes to test (such as on the Services tab), selecting one check box at a time and rebooting can be tedious, to say the least. A faster method—called “troubleshooting by halves”—is to begin by selecting the first half of the check boxes and rebooting. One of two things will happen:
The problem doesn’t reoccur. This means that one of the items represented by the cleared check boxes is the culprit. Clear all the check boxes, select the other half of the check boxes, and then reboot.
The problem reoccurs. This means that one of the selected check boxes is the problem. Select only half of those check boxes and reboot.
Keep halving the number of selected check boxes until you isolate the offending item.
