IIS Default SMTP Vir. Srv. Not starting

I have a Win2k Server machine that is used as a web
server. It does not allow me to send email because the
Default SMTP Vir. Srv. service will not start. When I
attempt to start it, it will say:

The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion.

nothing else using port 25 and simple main transport is
started under services.

Thanks for in advance,
Quan

Thanks for the reply, However, there is no event log for
this in my Windows Event Viewer.

I have the same problem only started AFAIK last week.
There are no entries in system log at all concerning SMTP
I tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling, same error
I have noticed that the mailroot folder which used to be under inetpub has
moved to being under wwwroot .
I downloaded metaedit but I do not know how the settings should be setup

Regards
Wayne
