Sophos Anti-Virus service will not start

avb123

Hi,

I cannot start the Sophos Anti-Virus service on my laptop, message below

Am using Windows XP, and have tried opening from the shortcuts and also manually starting the service in services panel.

Any advice?

'Could not start the Sophos Anti-Virus service on the Local Computer.

Error 0x80004005: Unspecified Error'

    For me the service had an invalid password for the Local System account.  So, instead of using the defined local system account, I selected the one where I didn't have to enter a password.  This is found on the properties of the service, on the logon tab.
