The Workstation service could not be started

The Workstation service could not be started

I’m running XP Pro/Media Center, SP2, mostly current updates.

I feel really stupid. I put SP2 and 2 dozen updates on over 2 days on a
trip. They had high speed wireless.

I tried:

C:\Documents and Settings\CompUSA>net start lanmanworkstation
The Workstation service is starting.
The Workstation service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 126 has occurred.

The specified module could not be found.

HELP!

Thanks,

Chuck

Is the Workstation service listed in Services?

Type this command in a command prompt and what do you get?

sc query lanmanworkstation

Workstation is the Display name for LanmanWorkstation (Service name).

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service depends on
LanmanWorkstation.

The Workstation service is also needed for Local Users and Groups.

The Client for Microsoft Networks component is actually the Workstation
service.

To see the Workstation service listed in Services...

Network Connections | Right click: Your Connection | Properties | General
tab | Install button | Highlight: Client | Add button | Highlight: Client
for Microsoft Networks | Click OK | Close

Removing Client for Microsoft Networks Removes Other Services

Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click Workstation and set to
Automatic | Click OK
