A couple of possibilities come to mind.
1.) Somehow, a critical file installed by SQL Server is no longer present,
2.) Somehow, NTFS security on at least one of the critical folders (or files) for SQL Server has been changed, and the account SQL Server runs under no longer has access to it,
3.) Somehow, a critical registry entry for SQL Server has either been deleted, or changed in a bad way.
This may not be an exhaustive list...
Let's hope you have a good backup of the machine, or can easily reinstall and preserve the data files.

look in the SQL errorlog for more specific messages, sounds like a database file is missing.

Is it the first time you are trying to connect or was it working fine earlier?

Ok...
Open the SQL Server configuration manager, find the instance in question (Express), right click-> properties, go to advanced, look for the startup parameters, copy whatever's there and paste it here.
When did the service last run?
What's happened since then?
