I have IIS installed at home ... when the system boots ...it says " one or more service failed to start ...please use the event viewer ......"

Then when I check the even viewer ...i see ::

Source : Service Control Manager
Type : Error
Description :

The certificate authority service failed to start due to the following error :
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

after that there is another error :
Source : Service Control Manager
Type : Error
Description :
Timeout ( 120000 milliseconds ) waiting for service to connect .

I would suspect that you need to load IIS after the machine is booted, and you have connected to the internet, as it is dependent upon getting a DNS from your ISP... ie mycomp.ispname.com

Try putting IIS and all related services into a manual mode, boot, connect, and then start.

This is more of a question than an answer, but why are you running Certificate Authority? It might not be necessary for your application and therefore this might be an annoying, but harmless, error.
