I am running SP2. The Workstation Service is being stopped which is also
causing other failures in Service Control Manager and Perfnet (I've checked
Event Manager). Any ideas - I've tried starting Workstation manually but it
won't let me, chucking out the following message

"Windows could not start the Workstation on Local Computer. For more
information, renew the System Event
Log. If this is a non-Microsoft sevice, contact the service vendor, and
refer to service-provider error code 2250."

Any help on this would be greatfully appreciated. I haven't come with a
solution using Google.

Is there detail in the Event Log (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Event
Viewer? Generally the Event Log entry will mention a dependency relationship
that you may not be aware of.
