HTTP SSL Cannot start - System Cannot find the file specified

After installing SQL 2005 Reporting Server, I'm unable to start the HTTP SSL service. The Event Log shows the following:

The HTTP SSL service terminated with the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this error. The server is running Windows Server 2003, and it's SQL Server 2005. Any thoughts on where to begin to look for a cause, or a fix, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Applying Microsoft Updates and rebooting the server resolved the issue. Thanks for your help!

I had same issue today. HTTP SSL service was not starting up and saying "System Cannot find the file specified". I found that C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe file is disappeared on the server. The recent change on Server is SQL Server reporting services installation. I re-applied Win2k3 SP2 on server and rebooted the server. Issue is fixed.
