Error occurred while trying to share drive
I'm trying to configure my wife's computer so that I can access her hard drive from my PC. But when I try to establish the share, I get the error:
An error occurred while trying to share Work.
The Server service is not started.
When I go into Services.msc and check the Server service, it says automatic, but the Status is blank. When I attempt to start the service, I get the error message:
Could not start the Services server on Local Computer
Error 126: The specified module could not be found.
