FM Server Service will not start

From one day to another the FMS service is not starting anymore. I had this several time in the past years and i allways reinstalled. Now i have to many schedules which i cant fully recreate, so i dont want to reinstall without trying everthing possible.

Do a search for FileMaker sever command lines. If you're on a Mac use the Terminal application to run the commands. Windows has its own command line interface. Reinstalling should not be necessary. I'mmassuming you can access the Admin Console. If so, when you do does the console report that FMS is running?

FMS Service is not running. When I try to start FMS Win Service via console it gives me an 1003 error, i get no result when I search for this error. The same is reported in in Win event log.

When you crosspost between forums, please indicate that.  The same people help out on a few of them so it is polite to warn them...

On FM's TechNet I've asked you about the version of windows and the full specs of your server...
