Jeebus, you shouldn't need to run it under the Administrator account to get it to work. That's fairly dangerous to be running a service under an Administrator account. The SC service should run just fine under the standard 'Local System' account. And it works if you run it under an account of a local or domain user. It should also work if you run it under an account you create exclusively for the SC service. There are some situations where it becomes necessary to run the service under a user account instead using the Local System account. That's part of the reason the service installer emphasizes the username and password entry. It's needed to access a specific user's iTunes and MusicIP libraries. It may also be needed (I've had mixed results using Local System) if all or part of your music library is located on another computer. (The '.\' in the account name designates the computer itself, so '.\Administrator' means the local Administrator account instead of a domain Administrator.) -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52667 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
