Have you tried starting from:
<Control Panel> <Administrative Tools> <Component Services>
Locate the service and try starting it there. The error message would
be a lot more revealing. You could click the <Event Viewer> and try to
locate the problem in one of the logs.
I did notice a post on an MS Forum, I forgot which one, that the latest
version of Bacula does not work on Windows. You apparent have to use a
deprecated version.
In any case, this might be better suited to an MS Forum discussion.
