    Help with Messenger Service

    I stopped our messenger service on our new Windows 2000 Advanced server and now can't get it started again. I've rebooted the server twice mid-day and then immediately tried to restart it - I get a 1053 error stating that it could not restart it in a timely fashion or something like that.

    me again

    Well - that didn't really help - i've tried some of that stuff - but they don't talk about the error I'm getting -

    I'm getting a message that says that it cannot start the messenger service - error 1053 - the service did not respond in a timely fashion. I had originally turned it to manual start - and have tried getting it back to automatic - but when I change it to automatic on the properties and click Apply - it locks up the services menu and I have to ctrl alt delete and end the task to get it to go away....its very strange...

    You don't have Exchange on there by any chance do you?

    One thing you can do is boot to the recovery console and change it to automatic using the CLI. Works every time

    If you need step by step instructions, let me know.

    no exchange

    Nope - no exchange on it at all - just a few bank programs....and a backup program - vertias to be exact - and that won't start becuase it requires the messenger service to be running - which I can't get to restarat - hence the whole dilemna....

    Actually tried that exact thing earlier - searching MS help - came across that exact article without any help.

    Is it logging anything in the event log? If so, what is the source?

    It's actually not logging anything except for something about a printer not being able to be installed - which was a problem from yesterday - but its logging something about that today - think that is related?

    No but it is easier to search http://www.eventid.net with a source.

    I would try thehorse's suggestion. I cannot find anything else relating to the topic.
