Thank you for the reply, but the service will not start. It is set to automatic, but fails to load giving error 2 "file not found." I get the same error if I try to start the service from the command prompt.
Does anyone know how to reinstall a service or what files the server service uses so I can replace them? Thank you.
If memory serves, the Server service gets installed when you install File and Printer Sharing in network connection properties. Maybe if you remove and readd this, you might be prompted to install the missing files again?

I had already tried reinstalling file and printer sharing and it did not work. I'll probably just back up this guy's data and do a clean install of Windows. I tried to do a repair install without booting from the CD but I can't because "the version of Windows on the CD is older than the currently installed version." I have not had good luck in the past using the recovery console/repair install when booting from the CD. Thanks for the ideas.
