Please check you environment variable settings.

THANK YOU for the help Guys,

I have dropped the instance and created a new one and it works fine.
That solved the problem for the time being.

But, still a mystery. Why was it not starting after working for quite some days.

Did you try iupdt or bind?

Thank you,

I will try this in future when-ever i come across similar issue.
