PLS HELP! SQLServerAgent Service could not be started

Hi,
SQLServerAgent Service stopped and could not be re-startated. I kept getting
the following meassge:
"Could not start serveragent on local computer. The service did not return
an error. This could be an internal windows error. If problem persists,
contact your system administrator"
It has been working before it stopped and couldn't restart after server
re-boot. It is using the same domain account with Admin rights as the
SQLServer Service which is has restarted and running.
This is very urgent please because it is a Production Server.
Thanks for your help.
Egbon.Anything in the Agent errorlog?

Windows Application event log...
look at this topic in BOL...
