Windows 2003 "Server" gone from system services and won't start.

I have a Windows 2003 server running ColdFusion 6.1 MX that I have recently
applied hot fixes to it. I rebooted the server and the "Server" serivce is
nolonger listed in the system services. I look in "Net Statistics" and the
server serivice is not there. I tried to start it with "Net Start Server"
and got and error message "The Service name is invalid". I even tried
"svchost.exe -k netsvcs" but that didn't bring server service. Help!!!

Event logs give you any information?

Here's the error message for Event Viewer:
"Unable to open the Server service. Server performance data will not be
returned. The error code returned is in the first DWORD in the Data section."
