I agree with David's analysis.

The most common cause of this error is because you have something *else*
listening on one of the ports IIS wants to use. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=261194
You Receive an Error Message When You Try to Start the Web Service

You can use TCPView from www.sysinternals.com to work out what that other
process is:

: Something happened to my Exchange server over the weekend that caused

: The access attempt is responded to with an account login and the logs

: running multiple instances which I do not have. My securebindings in
