NT 4.0 with SP 6a

After I added RAS services and PPTP protocol,
when I tried to look it PPTP's property, it took forever. I reboot the server and tried to removed PPTP and reinstall again. I got
an error: "Database is locked, please try it
later."

I don't know what happen. I still could not add or remove services.

Any help would be appreciated

I've encountered this problem recently i found that it locks the database when it's trying to write something to the event log. Once it writes to it you should be able to add or delete services.

The NT service database is still locked
after I waited for hours and reboot couple time.

Any another suggestion?

Thanks
