It's probably not running.  Go to the task manager and look for the named
process.  Is it there?  What's in the Application Event Log?  You can
get to this by running the Event Viewer and selecting Application and
then looking at the named events.

The chances are that it couldn't find named.conf or there are errors either
in the file.  The Event Log will tell you.  Did you create named.conf?

It's critical if named is not running.  This is not a button issue.
