My best guess is one of these two:
1. The SQL Server Service is set to "Disabled" in the control panel, services section, thats why service manager is not able to activate it.
2. The Files could have been corrupted during the dis-use period by some calamity - power faliure, disk faliure, or sector corruption.
The second has very little chance, so the first option is probably the right one. Check it out in the control panel. If everything is OK and it still doesnt work, try a reinstall.
