Broker start up problems

Hi All,
i tried to start the broker using Broker Monitor in windows services.
i got the following error .
awbroker.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
error signature:
szAppName : awbroker.exe szAppVer : 0.0.0.0 szModName : awbroker.exe
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00004401

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance:
Vasanth
