WINS Problems

[JRhoads]

Hi,
New to the forum and hope someone can help.
I have a NT PDC running WINS. I needed to reboot the server on Thursday evening, since then WINS will not start giving the standard database corruption message.
I have done everything I can think of to get it to restart
1. Tried a backup copy of the database
2. Ran Jetpack
3. Tried deleting everything to create a new database.
4. Even uninstalled WINS, rebooted, re-installed etc and it still wont start.

Any advice would be welcome.

Why should it be giving database corrupt message? Is there a problem with the database that should be sending errors? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Glen.
As far as I'm aware the database was fine until I rebooted the server and then I got the error message that the database was either corrupt or missing etc.
I have done everything I can think of to try to rectify the problem but it still persists.
I have looked all over the net for similar problems but haven't found any.
