i did but interestingly it didn't run under domain account then i start it under local admin account.
question is why i did work for same domain account it used to run under and SQL Server Service is nicely running under same domain account.

what i did go to services (mycomputer--manage--services) right click on SQLAgent click start. i didn't change the password or any thing. then i try it for local admin account and it works. i didn't record the error but i will get that may be tomorrow because i don't have the password of that domain account with me in order to test it again.
but do u have experienced some thing that server runs but agent doesn't for same domain account

Many reasons, that's why you have to look at error message.

Sql agent service account needs sysadmin rights while sql server service account doesn't.

If SQL engine is running on domain a/c then you should get an issue on it. First thing without error log no one can give you the correct suggestion.

Make sure SQL service a/c has Sysadmin access on the server, but again make sure noone can login with SQL service a/c. (deny on login).
