Could not start the workstation service

Aaron Pyle

I have just upgraded my system from Windows 2000 to
Windows XP and upgraded to SP1 and now the workstation
service will not start. When I try to start it gives me
this error message, "Error 1083: The Executable program
that this service is configured to run in does not
implement the service." Any information would be
helpfull.

For future reference this newsgroup is for Windows XP Embedded, not XP
Professional or Home editions- you might want to post your question to
Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

However, in Windows XP the Workstation service appears to have been replaced
with Client for Microsoft Networks. XP's Help and Support Center gives the
following info:
"The Client for Microsoft Networks component allows a computer to access
resources on a Microsoft network.
The component is installed and enabled by default. You should not need to
configure the component unless you are running software from The Open Group,
such as Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) server or client kits. If
you are, contact your system administrator for the correct DCE Cell
Directory Service network address.

The Client for Microsoft Networks component is the equivalent of the
Workstation service in Windows NT 4.0."
