MSDTC

hi!
I got this from Microsoft Management Console when starting the MSDTC service
.
Could not start the Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service on local com
puter
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
Can someone plz tell me wht the hell this means and how can i fix it. it doe
s not gives any other info.
thanks for any help.Which data access API are you using, ODBC?
Which resource manager (database)?
The ODBC driver exposes the XA Switch entrypoints, that is the DLL you need
to register. If you are running on a cluster you need to repeat this on
every node of the cluster.
