Database Service Won't Start

We have multiple instances at Windows 2000 Advanced Server. One default
database is Enterprise Edition and another two instances are Developer
Editions. They have been running fine until recently.
We can start ANY ONE instance from the EM, only ONE. None of any other
services can be started anymore. Not even SQL Agent. We have to start
rest of other database services and sql agent from command line.
When we try to connect the SQL Server or Agent from the EM, we got
"Error 1053 - (The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion) occured while performing this service
operation on the MSSQL service."
Thought maybe some corrpution to currnet databases, DLL etc. Installed
another new instance on the server, got the same error message.
Verified Microsoft KB article 322140, does not seem apply to us.
Any opinion is appreciated.
Hi,
What you could do is first backup all the databases currently running on your
server.
1) Please never install Enterprise Edition and Developer Edition on the Same
Drive.
2) Install both of them on separate Drives.
3) Setup the Client and Server Tools for only the Enterprise Edition.
4) And when installing the Developer Editions, install only the Server and
not the client tools.
I faced a similar problem when I installed SQL Server 2000 and SQL server
2005 express on the same drive.
So when I installed it on separate drives, no problems faced yet
Hope this helps

|||Thanks for your response.
But it works fine before, until 2 weeks ago. Now I can start them from
command line.
Thanks.
