can I just go to services and start DNS Server?

<div>
Yes you can, same action.<br />

We just need to be sure sufficient resources are now free and figure out what is hogging those resources and how to avoid in the future.

I have a windows 2003 SBS Standard.  DNS is not started and I cannot get it started.  Any tricks to get it to work?  When I do start it it says started and then I refresh and it's back to not started.

DNS Server

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
