error 1053 when I try to start SQLagent

I also get and error of unable to complete the operation
on "system Log" The interface is unknown.Hi,
I feel that Service startup account for SQL Agent do not have previlages in
registry. Can you add that user in Administarter group and try starting
the SQL agent service.
Verify, what is there in SQLAGENT.OUT file ?
Thanks

in Windows
How to setup the Morning Negotiation Tool(MNTOOL), so it wil
Run as a Service in Windows 2003 Server.
1.) You must have the following programs, which you can fin
in the Microsoft NT/2000 resource kit
a.) srvany.exe
b.) instsrv.exe
2. Put the MNTOOL execution file in the directory D:\smt_tool as pass.exe
3. Copy INSTSRV.EXE and SRVANY.EXE, on Windows 2003 Server, unde
the directory C:\windows\.
4. Run "C:\Windows\INSTSRV MNTOOL C:\Windows\srvany.exe"
5. Using REGEDT32 find the following key:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MNTOOL
6. Create a new key called "Parameters" , under MNTOOL
7. Create a new REG_SZ value, under Parameters, called "Application" and give i
the value d:\smt_tool\pass.exe.
8. Run Control Panel, Services, find the MNTOOL service and change the Startu
settings for this service to log on account smt, which should have Administrato
permissions
9. Start the MNTOOL service, from the Service menu, and it should remai
running. Do a Cntrl/Alt/Delete to get the TASK Manager ICON and mak
sure it says that PASS.exe is running
Note
To delete the MNTOOL, from running as a service, you can use the followin
DOS command, which is only available in Windows XP PRO and Window
2003 Service software: â'sc delete MNTOOLâ?
