Cannot start Server service (lanmanserver)

Guest

We've lost visibility of a desktop on our home network, although it can see
all the other PCs and everyone can ping everyone else. Think I've tracked
down the problem to the Server service not starting on the desktop concerned.
It is set up to start automatically. However, when I try to start manually
I get "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified". So which file is
corrupt or missing?

Thx
Clive.
