World Wide Web Publishing, a 'service' in the MMC has a status of
'starting'. I need to have its status as ' started ' not ' starting .' When
I right click on it , the options to start, restart, etc are greyed out and
not available.

Why do you think that you need this service? Are you running a Web server?

I also have this problem. The reason I would like it started is I'm
beginning to program in ASP.NET and this is one of the requirements for the
examples to work. IIS Admin is started, but w2svc is "starting".
