Could not start the Server service on Local Computer. Error 5:

[Arthur Priver]

I am trying to map a network drive to another computer. I cannot see any
computers in the workgroup. I have run the network wizard. Could not start
the Server service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied. Any
suggestions? Thank you.

I would log on as Administrator, then start the Server service.
Click Start / Run / services.msc{OK} to gain access to the
Start/Stop command. Note that the service must be enabled
before you can start it.

I logged in as a user who is an administrator. The Server service is listed as Automatic, but Stopped. When I click on Start, I get the error message shown in the subject line.
