Service mode with MCE problem

[MantisRay]

I just got a new machine with Windows MCE on it and successfully got Sage running with my original recordings.

However, I followed all of the steps that I can find on the SageTV web site how to get service mode going... including disabling the MCE services, logging in as a user, switched to UNC paths, etc... and still cannot get service mode to see my recordings or watch tv.

I can watch tv and record as usual as long as service mode is not running.
If I run service mode, I cannot see any records and can't add any paths. Keep in mind I told it to run as my administrative user account who has full privileges to the folders.

In service mode, I can browse the network, select the path, but when I hit continue, it still says "added 0 directories". Even if I specify a path, it does the same thing.

What could the problem be?

Make sure the user is in the Administrator group. Make sure the user has a password. It should work if you have those.

Enable the option in the Service Control to run as an Administrator...(instead of Local System user)
