You've complained this many times, and seems nobody bothers to answer.
The reason is you either played with msec or used highest security during
installation.
chkconfig will fail then, preventing unconscious adjustment in services
starting/stopping.
lowering the security level with msec (e.g. "msec 3") and everything will
work again.
