Review the Windows error code displayed in the message. If the error indicates that the system is out of memory, save your work, close other programs, and then try to start the service again. Alternatively, increase the amount of RAM installed on the computer.

If the message displays a system, server, or configuration error, contact your service support vendor.

733950 2009-01-01 08:40:00 The problem is to do with Messenger
The error:
" The system cannot find the file specified. "
Happened while starting this command:
C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe -Embedding

Reinstall Messenger,then make sure you select not to start when windows starts and it should boot up OK.

If you haven't installed MSN messenger theres two other possible problems - windows in built messenger is damaged, ( Its different to MSN messenger) so go to Control Panel / Add remove programs/ Add remove windows components/ Locate Windows messenger and untick it, reboot, then if you want it back reinstall it again.

OR -- Start -> Programs -> Windows Messenger -> Tools -> Options -> Preferences. Uncheck " Run this program when Windows Starts " . If its not there, go to C:\Program Files\Messenger open it, the setting is under preferences to disable at startup.

OR if you have been on the Internet with no protection - there is also a virus called msmsgs.exe 		wainuitech (129)

How right you are. A quick search through program files revealed NO MESSENGER folder.
Asearch in MS produced one. Installed it. Problem gone.

You are now a friend for life.

Thank you,
