Windows 2000 file/AD problem - urgent

[JM]

I have a Windows 2000 SP4 Advance and several services will not start up
after a reboot.

BackupExec, DNS, DFS, RPC Locator, File Replication, Remote Registry
Service, Browser service, Trend Server Protect.....

This is my File/Print server and Domain Controller with DNS. At this point,
all my clients are able to map to network drives and print, but DNS
resolving is going to my secondary DNS.

The server is acting very strange. I can't install software, IE does not
work anymore.
does anyone have a clue? Does this sound like a virus?

Chances are there's one service that is failing and it's causing a domino
effect where other services dependent on it subsequently fail as well.
Check in your system log and see if you can find the first service that
fails. If we concentrate on that particular service then once we fix that
all the rest may start working as well.
