CF Not Started

[Caldew]

Hello

For some reason and without warning Coldfusion stopped running on my PC (I
have CF MX). When I try to restart in Control Panel/Administrative
Tools/Services (this is XP Pro) I am told that 'Windows could not start the
Coldfusion Application Server on the Local computer'. This has happened once
before, many weeks ago, and I successfully restarted the CF using this method.
With CF not running, I cannot access ........... anything!

I hope very much you can help with some pointers.

Thank you in anticipation

check the logs folder under cfusionmx7 and the messages contained in server.log that might give you some clues...
