w32time 1058 & command prompt task doesn't resolve issue

I am getting a warning every day that windows time is not started. Whenever
I try and start it I get the "Error 1058: The service cannot be started,
either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated
with it."

It's definatley not disabled as I can see from the Services window. Using
the tool from smallbusinessserver.net to allow UDP 123 and changing the
update to client mode results in the same error.

Is there something else that is preventing w32time from starting?

Thanks

Steve,

It sounds like it's corrupt not misconfigured. The error you describe is not
a configuration error.

So is there anything other than a reinstall to try?

Steve,

I feel for you but I don't think so. It may be worth a call to product
support, even at $250. At least this way they could instruct you on how to
re-install just this service.

You know, one thing you could do before you make the call try is
re-registering the .dll associated with this service.
