 SQL Express Service Wont Start - Windows 7 Upgrade

I have a client that is using my software that uses the SQL Express for the database. Everything was working fine for him until he decided to upgrade to Windows 7. Now the service for our SQL instance wont start, and he cant uninstall it either. It looks like there is a permissions issue that is preventing the service from starting, or allowing the uninstaller to complete successfully.

Does anyone know of any reason that this might happen? And ideas on a workaround?

Thanks

John
