I will try to submit this directly to support as well, though no hits when searching there. We have a Dell Vostro healthy newly installed Windows XP Pro computer where Sage 100 Contractor has been running as server/client for a week. We restart the system at 7pm everyday as the user forgets to close applications. I am their IT and very well versed in XP and other issues encountered. When XP starts this service timesout, even though the service has been told to restart if fails at startup. I have to go into services and manually start the service in 'services'. So the service is fine. The service logs in as the Network account and has no dependencies.
I just installed this fresh copy of XP and it is fully updated etc... and the antivirus is not the culprit. Just would like to know IF anyone has encountered this and what they may have found. I truly don't need to get any technical windows related tech tips here. I can also create a routine to start the service at a designated time and this would work as well. Just asking if anyone had this issue and their solution found.
Appreciate this very much, Thank You.
