This section describes common problems when running EMSRV as a Windows
NT/2000 service and their solutions.
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The error message An internal Windows NT error has occurred appears at startup | Open the Services control panel. Verify that the startup parameters are entered correctly and the user name is a valid user on the server. The -u option is always needed to start the server. |
Normal EMSRV (not a service) hangs on startup | EMSRV must be run in the directory of the executable. It will pause for about 1 minute if it is run with no arguments from a different directory. |
The error message The specific service is disabled and cannot be started appears at startup | From the Control Panel, select Services and then the HW Profiles button. Select the Original Configuration. If its status is disabled, enable it by selecting the Enable button. |
The start button is disabled | The service could already be running on the local machine. Otherwise the service could be disabled. Select EMSRV Service in the Services control panel. Select Startup to open the Service window. Select Automatic or Manual for Startup Type. |
The error message The service did not start due to a logon failure appears at startup | An invalid password was entered in the Service window of the Services control panel, which you access by selecting Startup. Open the Service window and change the password or log on as the System Account. |
The error message The process terminated unexpectedly appears at startup | EMSRV could already be running in normal mode (that is, not as a service) on the local machine. This instance must be stopped for EMSRV to run as a service. |
