I don't know about Windows2000, but on NT4, you can often do
this in such cases:

(1) Try to "Start" the service (again) from the service control
    panel.
(2) (If you're lucky) Dismiss the "service is already running"
    warning.
(3) Now the service control panel shows the service as "Started",
    and you can stop it.

I think usually this sort of behavior indicates that the
service is not interacting with the Windows Service Manager
(or whatever it's called) properly.
