WinServer2003: Telephony Service stops one second after starting

We have been using a Windows Server 2003 box as our VPN server for years.
When it attempted to automatically install Service Pack 2 last week, it ran
out of disk space on c:\. I then deleted a bunch of stuff, including some
unused Windows components, then successfully updated to Service Pack 2.

Now, everything works, except VPN. The Remote Access Service won't start,
because it depends on the Telephony Service. When you start that service
manually, it starts then stops one second later. If you set Telephony to
automatic, the event log fills up with starts and stops once per second.

I don't know if this is a result of SP2 (probably not) or the result of
accidentally deleting a file or component that is needed for Telephony (more
likely), but in
any event, I don't know how to go about troubleshooting this, and we do need
to get our VPN server up and running again.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Try uninstalling RRAS and reinstalling it.
