KB948109 Update Error Code 0x733F

Error: 733F-- Services Failed to Start

Description: This error occurs when the installation program can't start
the SQL Server services. This can happen for several reasons including:
expired account password, invalid user account, user account does not have
permission to start the service, or there is something else wrong with the
service.

Resolution: To help you determine which service is failing to start, view
the summary.txt file that is created at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Hotfix. Once you determine which service is
failing, do the following:

1.
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2.
Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

3.

4.
Locate the SQL Server service causing the problem and try to manually
start the service.

If the service still does not start, try resetting the password or the
user account. After doing this, restart the service manually

If you need additional help, please post your summary.txt file located at
%programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Hotfix to the SQL
Server Setup MSDN forum at
