Starting Sophos Management Service Service

The Sophos Management Service will not start with an unspecified error (0x80004005).

I have tried changing the login to system and also deleting the following reg key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sophos\EE\Management Tools\DatabaseUser]

I am guessing it could be one of many things, but i would appreciate any tips on what to try next please?

Thanks,

Jez Oldfield
