WINS cannot start because the existing WINS database needs conversion to the Windows 2000 format. WINS has initiated the conversion using the JETCONV  process. Once the conversion is complete, WINS will start automatically. Do not reboot or kill the JETCONV process. The conversion may take anywhere from a few minutes to approximately two hours depending on the size of the databases.  NOTE: Check the application log to see the status of the WINS database conversion.
