Big problem, please help

We have an old NT 4.0 Exchange 5.5 server. It's had a few
viruses that have been manually removed. But something is
happening to it that nobody can explain:
When we open the "Services control panel" it opens and
lists only about 8 services. It used to list about 25.

Please help!

What does Event Viewer have to say about it?

Nothing. It says one service failed to start, but nothing
about the lack of services showing up in the services
control panel...

When you type Net Start at the command line do you see everything there?
Sounds like the system was corrupted by the virus's and a restore may be the
only fix or a rebuild.

What service? Like Scott suggested from a command prompt;
net start
maybe the "DisplayName"s are all that is missing but probably not.
