Analysis Services service won't start

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I haven't used SSAS in a few months and I went to start the service in SQL Server Configuration Manager and I get an error pop-up message:

The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.

However the event log has no useful info - just says the service started, then it stopped - no error related info. There are no logs generated in ..\MSSQL.1\. Every other service starts - database, SSIS, SSRS, Agent, Browser and FullText.

I'm running Sql Server 2005 (with SP1) on Win XP Pro (SP2). Any help appreciated!

Do you see anything in the System Event log?

There were a few Information type events that said that Analysis Services started and it stopped, but no error or warning events.

I got impatient and uninstalled SSAS and re-installed and everything works now.
