Server Service will not start

[jlk]

I keep getting this error message:

The Server service terminated with the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

I have checked for srvsvc.dll (per Ramesh's suggestion) and it is in
place.

Hi jlk,

Click Start, Run and type:

cmd /k sc qc lanmanserver

Copy the output and include it in your reply.

Also note that the file srvsvc.dll should be present in the System32 folder.

Hi jlk,

The Service configuration looks OK. Can you export a registry key and
include it in your reply? Type this in Start, Run:

CMD /K REG EXPORT "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver"
C:\Server.txt

The file size will be ~50Kb so you can mail me that directly. If so, remove
the string XOX. from my email ID.
