Hello,
Has the installation of Backup Exec gone off well? If yes, where do you get this error? Does only the backup exec server service stop or do other services also stop?
Have you tried starting the services using the Local system account? If not, you can try that out.
You had earlier mentioned that you have downloaded the latest version, are you referring to release 5520 for 10.0? In case you have not installed it, you can install it from the following link:
Title: VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 10.0 rev. 5520 for Windows Servers Installation Files

If the problem persists, run the MDAC component checker and check for mismatched dll files. In case you find any mismatched dll's, you can replace them from Microsoft. Here is the link for downloading MDAC component checker:

Hope this information helps. If the problem persists, do write back to the forum.
