Default Workstation Service Won't Start -- Error 2

Hi All:

Without this service starting the computer is almost useless. No
networking, can't install SpywareDoctor, Can't install BelkinEasy Transfer
Cable for Windows 7. Can't even look at events. Can't burn CD's.

Trying to start the service gives:

Could not start the Workstation service on Local Computer.
Error 2: The system could not find the file specified

Any Help(?)

Have you tried system restore to a time before the problem arose?
