Moss Search service problem

Question

Hi,
when I try to start Moss Osearch service, I've got the following message,

Services
Could not start the Office SharePoint Server Search service on Local Computer.
Error 126: The specified module could not be found

I have tried everything, try to add permissions to DCOM config, nothing helps.

Can I reinstall this Service?

Any idea?

Hello

We are also having this error. This has been occurring since due to a hardware problem we needed to restore WFE server from backup. Any ideas what are we missing here?
