Part of the problem is that you are running Win2k with 64MB RAM. While this does meet the (very) minimum requirements set forth by Microsoft, the recommended minimum is 128 MB (the MS site says "more memory generally improves responsiveness").

As to your other problem, you will see this same Service Control Manager error ANY time a service shuts down unexpectedly. Although the description does identify which service this was, we need to know what other errors are popping up to try to proose a solution to your problem. If you provide that information, we are better equipped to try to solve your problem.

BTW, this doesn't sound like any of the standard Windows services. Have you added any new hardware and/or software lately?
