If this is what you are seeing there is only 1 way to attempt to correct
this
problem.

Open a command prompt on the server and go to the windows\system32\certlog
folder.

Run the following command line.

ESENTUTL /r edb

If that command returns successfully, try to restart the service. If that
command
fails, try to restore a backup. If you do not have a backup or fails to
restore, there is no other alternative but to reinstall Certificate services
thereby
rebuilding the database. This will unfortunately wipe out any previous
certificates.

Hope it helps
