cant start the sql server services

Hi all

After i configure the Merge Replication, my sql server services wont start again.

The error show that "The request failed for the service did not respone in time fashion. Consult the event log or other application error logs for detail"

Did you?

|||what is that mean actually/|||Did you consult with sql server log?|||

Go to C:\MS SQL Server\MSSQL4 (or 3 something like that)

There find a LOG folder and several log files which should tell you what exactly happend and why the service is not running.

Also check if you have set the services to start automatically or manually.
