Nothing I have tried has been able to fix this, the system installed fine from the same file (though I did reinstall to check) on another PC running the same OS with the same settings

I had a similar problem on a Windows XP box.

In my case, the reason the service couldn't start was that the Application Event Log was full. That is, after clearing the Application Event Log, the service started without a problem.

Maybe checking your event logs (eventvwr.msc) is a starting point.
