Windows Time Service won't start

[Guest]

This is driving me to distraction! My own PC running XP Pro will not start
the Windows Time Service - when I try to manually start it it comes back with:

"error 1058: The service cannot be started either because it is diabled or
because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

I've checkjed that it is enabled(yes) and that it it associated with the
hardware profile (yes).

Anyone any ideas what I can look at next?
TIA
Peter

I would suspect some damaged or incompatible driver. Driver conflicts are the common cause for services failures. Something for the
MoBo, or maybe the NIC.

Look for device conflicts by running MSINFO32.

Thanks Mark
I forgot to say I've looked for conflicts and just can't see any. I don't
really want to have to start from scratch again and reload everything until I
find a problem so any other ideas would be very usefull
