Can't start the Intel PDS service Error 1053

[Tom Wall]

I have a 2000 server that I installed the latest patches on over the weekend
10/26. I am now receiving a message that the Intel PDS service could not
start. Here is the error it occurs when Windows tries to start it at boot
and if I manual try to start it. "Could not start the Intel PDS service on
Local Computer; Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
control request in a timely fashion." The service is set to automatically
start. I have looked online for this specific error and only found two
postings neither provided solutions.
