Can start SERVICE

Am using SQL Server2000 on WINXP. Have been using this DB since it became
available. Today, all of a sudden, the Service was not 'started,' even tho
I had it marked as 'automatic.' Tried to manually start the service, and
received the message that some services start and stop if there is no work
for them to do.
Don't know why this has happened. I rebotted my computer, but still can not
get MSSQLSERVER 'started.' Can anyone help me here?
Found my answer, and problem is resolved....
