CAUSE:

This is a known Microsoft issue. It occurs when a service component required for Windows NT, an application, or a network protocol, is corrupted or missing. The problem can also occur if the folder location of the executable contains spaces in the directory name (long filename). An example would be when the executable is located in the \Program Files\<service.exe> folder.

FIX:

1) Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe), and then navigate to the
following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ProService9.1B

Double click the ImagePath value, and then change the Value Data of ImagePath by adding quotation marks around the complete path,
including the executable name.

For example: "C:\Program Files\Progress\ProSrvc.exe".
