why does the server service hang at startup and then later work? Before the problem I was running NT server 4.0 and SQL 7.0.The problem occrured after upgrading to Win2000.

Are any other services hanging as well? The server service may be hanging due to a dependent service starting late (or not at all). Are any errors being reported in the logs?

Another suggestion would be to have you do a clean install of win2k rather than an upgrade from NT 4.0. It may take you a bit longer to get it done, but you will have fewer issues with a clean install.

I don't think the problem is related to the upgrade. I have a clean install of Win2000 and SQL 7.0 on my machine. I have a similar problem on my machine. However, in my situation began occurring after I installed Cold Fusion. I'm concerned abouthow to correct this problem as well. I uninstalled the 7.0 and still get the problem. I'm hesitant to do a reinstall of Win2000 because of a previous problem with that. What have you done so far? Maybe we can work through this one together.
