When I try to establish file sharing I get the following message: “An error
occurred while trying to share FOLDERNAME. The
server service is not started. The shared resource was not created at this
time.â€

I tried the fix suggested elsewhere in this forum to: To start the Server
service:
This didn't work. I got the following message: The server service could
not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 2 has occurred.
The system cannot find the file
specified.

Can anyone help?

Click to expand...

Try this...

"You receive a "The server service is not started" error message when
you try to add a user to a group in Windows XP"

You've essentially already tried Method 1 -- try Method 2 and 3.

HTH,
