Unable To Start SQL Express 2005 Service As A Network User

I am trying to start ms sql server 2005 express as a network user from originally starting as local system. I cannot start the service.

I have given this network user administrator access to sql express from the sql server surface area configuration "Add New Administrator". I have went into the local users/groups and added this network user to the 3 security groups

SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelperUser$SQL1
SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$SQL1$SQLEXPRESS
SQLServer2005MSSQLBrowserUser$SQL1


I receive one alert int he event logs/application

EventID: 26010

The server could not load the certificate it needs to initiate an SSL connection. It returned the following error: 0x8009030d. Check certificates to make sure they are valid.

I receive five errors in the event logs/application

EventID: 26014

Unable to load user specified certificate. The server will not accept a connection. You should verify that the certificate is correctly installed. See "Configuring Certificate for Use by SSL" in Books Online.

Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately prceding this one in the error log.

SQL Server could not spawn the FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

I don't recall assigning any sql specific certificates. The reason I'm trying to run this as a network user is because an application on a remote windows server requires it.

After starting the service back running as local system as it was before, I went into the
SQL Server Management Studio Express and edited the properties for this new network user I wish to run the service as. I gave him full access including checking all grants in securables.

I now see a bit of a difference in the event logs with these errors.

EventID: 17058

initerrlog: Could not open the log file 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG.' Operating system error =5(Access is denied).

I saw a notification when changing the sql server service's logon that the new network user has been granted the log on locally right.

The second and last new error is

EventID: 17053

UpdateUptimeRegKey: Operating system error 5(Access is denied.) encountered.
