Hi, I have installed CC2 on Win 7, 32. After reboot the programm doesn't start. When I try to start manually I get following message:

Could not start the CC2 service: Could not access the NT service manager

Any hints to get CC2 running under Windows 7?
Thanks

Are you logged in as a user with Administrative privileges?
Not being so would cause that error.

Under Win7 i suggest using the "User Tray Application" instead of the "NT Service".

To change to using this, open up the CC2 configuration, select the "General Options" tab, then change the "Run As..." box to "User Tray Application".
It would be a good idea to reboot after doing this.

Please let us know if you have any more problems.

Yes, I'm logged in as Administrator.
Under the "General Options" tab I only find

Startup Options
-> Start service with windows
-> Place Icon in startbar tray

Both boxes were checked here.

Ok, I installed the newer version and I got this:

Error, Could not install the CrystalControl2 Service!
Please go to the Crystalfontz Internet Forums (www.crystalfontz.com) and report this problem.
Installation will continue, but CrystalControl will not run when completed.

But the program started and I found the blue icon and also "Run as..".
But as I tried to install the first screen, the programm freezed and I had to kill it by the task manager :-(
Next time the Programm didn't start at all and so I deinstalled it, to make a new installation (with the newer version), but now it's the same as before. No "Run as.." is shown and I get again "Could not start the CC2 service: Could not access the NT service manager".

What can I do now?

Hm, again uninstalled and installed. Now the right version seems to be installed.
It shows the blue icon and the programm is running.
I have created my first screen, but the display doesn't show anything; only the boot screen disappears as soon as CC2 is running. On shutting down the system I get an error (can't read 0xa3fee083).

If the display isnt showing anything, your COM port or baud rate setting must be wrong.
Double check those first.

The current version of CC2 does have a few issues under Win7 (like your shutdown problem), im trying to get them fixed at the moment.
It wont be causing your no display issue though.

The display number is CFAH2002A-RMC-JP

My settings are "Crystalfontz 631" at USB Serial Port (COM3) with 115200 Baud, now changed to 19200 but without effects. "Run as.. User Tray Application" is selected.

The USB port must be right because I managed it to create a boot screen with another programm (same port).
As soon as I start CC2 this boot screen disappears and only the backlight remains.

If the display is going blank when you start CC2, that is a good sign.
It does mean that CC2 is connected to the display correctly.
The fact that it is blank suggests to me that the displays contrast setting is too low.
Try turning it up, then clicking the "Restart CC2" button.

Hello

I have the same problem with Windows 7 64 and cc2 last version.
I have created my first screen, but the display doesn't show anything; only the boot screen disappears as soon as CC2 is running. On shutting down the system I get an error (can't read 0xa3fee083).
My settings are "Crystalfontz 634" at Serial Port (COM1) with 19200 Baud.
Thanks

Are you sure the 634 is on COM1?
Use the Windows Device Manager to see what COM ports are available, maybe its on one of the others?

On shutting down the system I get an error (can't read 0xa3fee083).
