    I am finding that I have several wf failing on start. SPD was used to develop the wf so there is no advanced code. What else would cause this? How can I stop it from reoccuring? This nevers happens on the same items for the same reasons, so it can not be duplicated. Is there a way to detect this failure without going into the list and looking for all failed workflows. Like creating a second wf that checks the first wf status. Is there a way to trigger that second wf so it keeps checking that status, until it is complete or failed?

    I do not have that access and company policy limits what I have access to. When I talked to our SP admin he has no answer either. I don't even have to be the one triggereing the wf, but when someone views the wf status there is one every now and then that failed on start (retrying). and never restarts.

    What is this workflow doing?

    Is there an error in event log or in workflow history?

    Have you applied newest hotfixes for SharePoint http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/bb735839.aspx

    You should also install this one: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;932394

    I can not install the hot fixes, but i will talk to our admin. The wf I have are only doing simple tasks. More like alerts for review. When item submitted. 2 emails sent. submitter and reviewer. reviewer works item and changes status, submitter receives message for each status change. not that much involved.
