When trying to set a directory to allow file sharing in WINXP, I get an error
"Server Service is not Started". After viewing Services I notice the Server
service is not started (you probably could have guessed). When trying to
start Server I get the error "Could not start server service on local
computer. Error 2001: The specified driver is invalid".

Any Ideas on how to fix this problem?

Cheers
