Server service not starting "error"

Firts install service pack 6. if its not working, try to add virtual memory and upgrade registry size. If its not working, uninstall all network service and reinstall them. install service pack 6 after this.

Good Luck.

You don't say what messages you are getting in Event Viewer, but you can try the following:

1. Run regedt32.exe
2. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root
3. If any of the following keys exist, delete them: LEGACY_BROWSER, LEGACY_LANMANSERVER, LEGACY_MESSENGER, OR LEGACY_SRV
4. Reboot

If that fails to work, or those values were not present, try the following:
1. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
2. Change the value of PagedPoolSize to 0
3. Reboot

NOTE: Make sure you back up the registry prior to making changes.

I'd also ask if you really "need" the Server service. Unless there are connections into the machine for shares, etc., once you get things straightened out, you could consider disabling the Server service via ControlPanel:Services:StartUp

The first answer will do the things for you...
Fossil is talking nonsenses (sorry for the rude language) - you need the server service in order to share your local folder/drives/printers etc. over the network.
I need that for all my workstations (especially folders) so I do not see his/her point why to disable it...

typical message of different servicepacks installed. just try to apply the newest one (SP6a). i'll bet the message wont come again.

good luck
