System Event Notification service is failing to start because (according to Control Panel Services Applet) a dependent service has either been deleted/removed or marked for deletion.
Event log states that System Event Notification service will not start because a dependent service: Event does not exist. Apparently I need to reinstall the service (executable?) that is no longer there.

Where can I find the dependent service (executable?) for re-installation?

Did you recently installed something that triggered this problem? If you have you might want to reload the service pack. Certain drivers/programs overwrite files installed by the SP which need to be reinstalled by re-applying the SP.
Hope this helps...

Nothing has been recently installed except for the re-installed service pack. Error occurred while system was attempting to load .dlls (MS proprietary application regsvr32.exe from SP6a).
