Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. I am using Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 with Service Pack 2. Any idea? Thanks

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the looooong delay! I tested your mentioned solution with no lock. Any idea? Thanks again.

Hi imprise, Is it a 32 core machine? Is it Windows Server 2003 SP2 64 bit edition? If this is your situation, please try these steps to walk through this issue: 1. Open Registry Editor 2. Locate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions 3. Right click "Web Server Extensions" and click [New] - [Key] 4. Name the new key "HeapSettings" 5. Ensure the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\HeapSettings is created 6. Right click on "HeapSettings" key and click [New] - [DWORD value] 7. Rename DWORD key created in step 7 as "LocalHeapWarnCount" 8. Double click on "LocalHeapWarnCount" 9. "Edit DWORD Value" dialog will open. Enter [Value data] = 64 10. Reboot SharePoint server. Hope it helps. Thanks & Regards. Lily Wu TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.comLily Wu
