Error: SQL Server Failed To Communicate With Full-Text Service

Hello,

I've enabled full-text indexing on one of my tables, and the following query used to work:

SELECT *

FROM TempAttachment

WHERE CONTAINS(attachment, 'text')



However, now I get the following error:
Msg 9955, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
SQL server failed to communicate with Full-Text Service (msftesql). The system administrator must make sure that same service account is used for both services and the service account has the permission to auto start the full-text service.



I've checked the configuration and verified that both accounts are the same. I've restarted the services, and tried rebooting, and still no luck. I did a search on this error, and found this page from MSDN, which doesn't help me much: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337365.aspx.


Has anybody come across this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
