Hi, thanks for the reply.
When trying to start manually the Server Service I
get "Error 2001: driver invalid".
This is what the Even log says after the error:
"The Server service terminated with the following error:
The specified driver is invalid.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
Any help is appreciated - thanks.
