Are there any related system errors reported in Event Viewer? Does Event Viewer offer any clues as to the cause?
Make a note of the precise text of any error message. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID: and Source Description are important.
