Problem with service - messenger (NOT MSN messenger !! )

[Guest]

I always used the NET SEND command to send messages to other PC's in my
network. This only works if you 'start' the 'service' 'messenger' in Control
Panel - Administrative Tools !!

But now, on one of my computers I'm not able to start the service anymore, I
get the following error : "Windows could not start the Messenger on Local
Computer. For more information, review the System Event log. If this is a
non-Microsoft
service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code
2270."

In the System Event log I found the following : "Source : Service Control
Manager
, Category : None , Type : Error , Event ID : 7024 , Description : The
Messenger service terminated with service-specific error 2270 (0x8DE). For
more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

In the Help and Support Center , I don't find anything that can help me for
a solution.

Could someone help me ?

THX for all answers...
