Server service not running and unable to start
im trying to share files over my network, but for some reason my computer keeps telling me that i am unable to because "The Server service was not started".

So i went into my services thing is administration tools, and low and behold it isnt running, so i click on start, but it doesn't start and it tells me that "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified." the file i believe is svchost.exe, so i went to chk in the system32 folder, and it svchost.exe does indeed exist.

any ideas on how to get it working ?

That can mean that it can't bind to port 139 on your IP. Check your network card properties such that "File and Printer Sharing" is enabled.
