Me again. I've been working for several days to repair whatever problem has mangled my ColdFusion installation. I've uninstalled everything related to CF that I can find, cleaned up the registry, uninstalled IIS, reinstalled Windows, reinstalled IIS, reinstalled ColdFusion, and I continue to have the same problem.
In addition I've spent considerable time on both Microsoft's and Macromedia's web sites and in the books. So I throw myself on the mercy of you guys. There has to be an expert who's faced a similar problem and who can point me in the right direction. I'm running: Win2K Pro (plenty of RAM and disk space - no current registry errors) IIS 5.0 - The server displays its default files and help system, so I know it's running okay. I had MDAC 2.7, but I think my most recent reinstallation of CF may have reinstalled MDAC 2.0 (but reinstalling 2.7 doesn't change the situation) CF 4.01 This is the error message I get in Windows Events: The SiteMinder Authentication Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Authorization Service is not running either. It displays: The SiteMinder Authorization Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. For both, Windows displays Event ID: 7000 My choices are to call Microsoft ($$), call Macromedia ($$), or take my computer to a local repair shop ($$). Thanks for any help you can provide.
