Problem with a Service that Fails to Start (Bonjour Service)

Hi everyone,

I use Vista Ultimate 64.

For the past few weeks I've been having an issue with an Apple made
service called "Bonjour Service". That service is used in several pieces
of software including iTunes (which I do not use) but also some Adobe
applications (Version Cue for example) and the font management utility I
use which is Extensis Suitcase 11.0.1 for Windows.

Both Version Cue and Suitcase depend on the Bonjour Service to work and
I have had no issues with it for months but recently, the Bonjour
Service stopped working and would not start anymore. It now gives this
error message when trying to start it:

"('Bonjour Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient
privileges to start system services."

My user account is an admin account so privileges is not an issue. I had
made no changes to my system myself before the Bonjour service began to
"refuse" starting but I remember that I installed a few Windows updates
a couple days prior. My machine is always on and I don't re-boot everyday.

So I was wondering if anyone has heard of the issue and knows how I
might fix it or if anyone can give me pointers on how I my start trouble
shooting this and find what started preventing the Bonjour Service from
starting. FWIW, the Windows Firewall is already off and turning off my
anti-virus doesn't help (Eset NOD32).

Thanks very much in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Bonjour is an iTunes service. Uninstall and then reinstall iTunes.

What is Apple telling you about this? Have you at least tried what Cameron
told you already?
