MSSQLSERVER Service ... just gone

I just attempted to log into an application that uses
SQL. I received the error "Net Service
Configuration" ... "The specified service does not exist
as an installed service."
I'm shocked. Why would this service just disappear?It wouldn't. To ensure it hasn't logon locally to the SQL Server, control
panel, services, MSSQLServer.
I would imagine the error message relates to a different service.

for evidence on what might have happened.
