Question : Cannot access roles and features in Server Manager

Hi

I cannot view Roles and Features in Server Manager on my Server 2008 box. The error is:

Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: The service cannot be started, either because it is disbaled or because it has no enabled devices assicaited with it (Exception from HResult: 0x80070422)

I have looked at my services - but don't know what service to look for, everything 8seems8 to be in order.

Heh fun... Could always take the error message at face value...

Is the Windows Update service started?
