Double click this service in start>run>services.msc, and you will see the "Path to Executable"

Go to that path, and replace it from a known working machine.....
Or look for it under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services" in teh registry, for the ImagePath value.....

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, there is a key called PortD.  Its Display Name is CMS PortIO Service.  That's why you can't find it, since the message in Event Log is picking up Display Name instead of Key Name.
Expand PortD and change Start to 4, and you won't get the message any longer.
Someone said that key was left hanging when you deleted CMS BounceBack Pro.  That was the case for me -- I upgraded from Pro to Ultimate.
