SQL Server Agent not running

None of the SQL Jobs on my server are running. I've looked into this and got the message:

SQLServerAgent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action

How can I get SQL Server Agent to start running on SQL Server 2008?

net start SQLSERVERAGENT (for default instance, or just use services.msc or SQL Server Configuration Manager)
