Thanks for the link to the Reporting Services forum.  I found the fix in this thread:

I had to create a registry key and reboot:
1.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
3.
In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.
Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:
a.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
b.
Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
4.
Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
5.
Click Decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.
This value represents the time in milliseconds before a service times out.
6.
Restart the computer.
After the reboot, the service was running.  Thanks for your help with this.
