Error 1068: Could not start the SQLServerAgent Service

Hi,
I'm getting the following error message:
(
Could not start the SQLServerAgent Serviceon local computer
Error 1068 : The dependency service or group failed to
start
)
This server is a subscriber in a transactional replication
and it was working until yesterday.
Does anybody have a solution.
Thanks in advance.Mattew,
Hmmm. Probably means that something changed. Here is one KB article. Does
it apply?

A more general article (non-SQL Server) on the topic:

I read the articles you mentioned, and as I understood,
the resolution is:
(To resolve the problem, use these steps:
Change the startup account of both the MSSQLSERVER and
SQLServerAgent to use the Local System account.
Restart the computer. )
As I told you before, the problem is that I can not start
the 'SqlServer' and 'SqlServer agent', so I cann't go and
change the startup account. I don't know, I may be
confused, but I just encountered this Error (Error 1068)
while starting up the SQLServer.
Thanks for any suggestion in advance,
Mattew

help.
