I'm tempted to say it's something along those lines. The "Failed to start (retrying)" is a generic catch-all, so you can't use the similarity of that error to mine as an indication of the root cause. Google for stuff on .Net and Certificate Revocation Lists. Workflow uses .Net and it is that which performs the CRL check.

Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed? Could this be linked? (Apologies for my previous post, the rest is below)

I am now having the same problem with my SharePoint site. When I put a condition in a workflow, it returns the message Failed to start (retrying). I have made the changes you recommended above, however it did not appear to work. Do you know what else it could be? Hi

I have a lot of custom workflows running on a site (16 spread accross about 5 lists) they are complex and include updating and creating new list items on other lists. Although the lists update abck and forth some complex conditions make sure they are not infinatly cyclical. The problem is about 3 times a day the availibble memory on our App Server tanks to about 100MB, at this point all workflows on the server (not just the site) begin to error out. To cure the symptom an IIS reset frees the cache but this is just slapping a bandaid on the problem we need to stop the memory leak. here's the really wierd part, occationally after the IIS reset the workflows on the site I described above stop working even with over a gig and a half of availible memory... and then when I perform an IIS reset it fixes the problem. So because you had an issue with one complex workflow and I am having a problem with lots of kind of complex workflows I was wondering if you had any advice or insights into my problem?
