MSSQLOLAP Service stuck in a loop

Hi
I had installed the SP3a patch for Analysis Services.
Everything was working fine for a day and then now when I
try restarting the MSSQLOLAPService it gets into a loop
and automatically gets restarted again and again.
I am not very sure whether this is because of the SP3a
installation.
I have encountered the same on a few other desktops
running Windows XP and a server running win 2000 advanced
server.
Any clue of where have I gone wrong?
Any sort of help would be appreciated!!
thanx in advance,

I remember this happening to me and I wish I could be sure but I seem
to remember that it had something to do with the service pack.
Possibly a mismatch between the machine that had AS and another
machine that was hitting it...
