Have you tried uninstall/boot/install/boot?

Seems to work for some in your situation.

Similar problem, but I am seeing the following in the Event Viewer:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: 5/14/2001
Time: 7:46:31 AM
User: N/A
Computer: CONTROLLER_1
Description:
The Backup Exec 8.x Agent Accelerator service terminated with the following
error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

This is BackupExec 8.0 Rev. 3316 on a Win2K Server. Works well on other
Win2K server, just not this one.

Ken I have the exact same problem. I sent an email the Veritas support but
no response. I tried reinstalling the remote agent sverelar time but no
luck. Someone Help!

I also have this same problem, I posted here last week. I also sent an email
to Veritas tech support and got a response, asking me to check the registry
whether AppleTalk was listed as a Winsock transport (????). It was, but
I
don't know if that is a bad thing or a good thing.

If you don't use AppleTalk, remove it and try re-starting BEREMOTE.

Actually the solution was to reinstall AppleTalk, even though I
don't use it. Then the service started correctly. Evidently
AppleTalk had once been installed on that server and configured to
a particular adapter, then the adapter was removed and replaced with
another and AppleTalk had been uninstalled. The registry still had
an entry with AppleTalk related to that original adapter.

I don't believe it! It worked. Just by adding Apple Talk to the NIC,
running the silent install and rebooting. The service is now started. I am
removing the Apple Talk now and rebooting to see if the service still
starts.

Does the BE agent services account have the property to login as a service?

I had this same problem. Installing AppleTalk protocol fixed it. AppleTalk
does not have to be enabled; just present in the "Local Area Connection"
properties.

Veritas support responded with the solution. Seems very odd given there has
never been appletalk on this network. I tried it anyway and it worked!!!!

This is commonly caused by the registry having traces of AppleTalk
installed, but the actual files and protocol no longer being on the system.
The easiest way to fix this is to install AppleTalk and disable it by
removing the checkmark next to the protocol in the network properties.
