Thanks Jeff. I made that change and now the service appears to be running OK. BUT ... I can't connect to it from a Client. It says Not Responding. I've only tested with a Client running on the same server, but that should work - never had a problem doing that in the past. Makes no difference if I run the Client as Administrator or not.
Do I need to change something else as well? Thanks!
