Very Computer

I wanna schedule a database maintenance plan which requires the SQL Server
Agent running. On starting this service, a Service Control Failure is
returned, claiming 'An Error 1058 - (The specified service is disabled and
cannot be started) occured while performing this service operation on the
SQLServerAgent service.

The system I'm using is WinNT4.0 SP6, SQL Server Desktop Edition 7.0 and I'm
logged in as admin.
Starting the service from within the control panel/Service also fails.

Can anyone help???

Thanks and best regards,

John.

In Control Panel >> Services , choose SQL Server Agent.
Click on Startup . Make sure the startup type is set to Automatic.
Click on H/W Profiles and make sure it is enabled.

After this you should be able to start the service.
