.Heather,
If I had to take a gues I would say someone has removed the build-in
Administrators group from SQL Server without adding a Login for the
local system account. Now the server tries to start, but because the
login doen't exist anymore you get these errors. Change the service
logon account to a domain account which has administrative access to
SQL Server and you should be able to start the server again.
