Event ID 119 and 7000: qic117 errors 1

[cgwillard]

I have a WinNT 4.0 Server with SP5. Recently, I have been having trouble with a SCSI attached tape library (Exabyte EZ17). It worked fine for a couple of months, then the server shut itself down, and the tape library won't register correctly now.

In the server's Event Viewer, I have two messages:
- Event ID: 119 "The description for Event ID(119) in Source (qic117) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s):...
- Event ID: 7000 "The qic117 service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the device specified."

In Control Panel>Devices, qic117 shows as "Automatic", but not started.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Also, how can I decipher the codes at the bottom of a message in the Event Viewer? I'm sure those letters and numbers mean something, but who knows what.

Thanks so much for taking time to help me out!
