Service just stopped working

[edgley]

Hi,

Yesterday perfectly working Sage, for a while.
Rebooted server today, and now the service wont start up.

Have read the other threads on it. Even if I try a manual start up it wont, giving the error service not responding to the control function.

I am running a 6.0 version.

Thanks.

ps, have tried it logging in as a user, and interact with local desktop.

Do'h, Case of user error; forgot to enter my key after end of trial

Don't feel bad. I had a client today send me an email complaining because they had submitted a service request 24 hours earlier to have a PC looked at because the moved it to another PC and it would not come on. I rushed a tech out at a 1-hour minimum flat rate fee. Yeah, there was no power cord on the monitor.

In troubleshooting other's computers, no matter what their experience level, I have found that you will save yourself a LOT of time by always starting with the most basic of basics - power plugs and power switches, ALL of them.

... and if the power cord is plugged into an extension cord, follow the extension cord to its end. That was my favorite support call a long time ago.
