Guys thanks again for the responses. OK, I deleted everything including stuff from the hidden ProgramData directory and rebooted. Unfortunately the setup just hangs at, seemingly, the very end and the only way to get out of it is to terminate it. I can see that it has inserted Slimserver into Windows Firewall but it hasn't tried to start Slimserver.
Despite having rebooted, in Task Manager I do see two "slim.exe" entries (one for user Marc and one for SYSTEM) and a SlimServer_6_5_v2007-07-10.exe entry. In services slimsvc is 'Starting' and SlimServerMySQL is running. Stop Press. After stopping the process slim.exe running under 'Marc' the setup completed. However slimsvc is stuck in 'Starting" and whilst the tray icon says it is connected, when I try to stop it, it tells me it is stopping it but it doesn't shut down. I don't want you guys to spend days responding to my posts, but any further advice before I try a XP machine would be great, if there is any to give. Just fyi I have already had SlimServer running on my Powerbook with no problem at all, but I want it to run on my desktop.... Thanks again Marc -- nieldm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nieldm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36612 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
