CC2 'service not running' - BUT IT IS RUNNING

I've got a strange problem.

I just installed the latest CC2. In configuration app, I added the LCD module and a couple of screens (Date/Time & CPU usage) and tried to start the service but then get the message 'Could not start the CC2 Service: Unknown Error (2)'.

The strange thing is that the service DID start. I can even stop and retart it under the Windows Services utility. And the display does work and correctly displays the screens I setup. But the tray utility insists it's not running.

Since it does seem to be running, it wouldn't be such a problem except that now I want to setup my temp probes. Am I going to get this working even with this strange behavior from the tray utility? How do I get this fixed?

Appreciate any help.

Log files attached.

Thanks.

Are you logged into windows as a user with Administrator priviledges?

This is the only thing i can think of at the moment, your logs dont show anything wrong.

Is problem with Remote Desktop?

I noticed that the problem occurs when I log into the machine thru Windows Remote Desktop. When I log in locally, the CC2 tray icon is blue and indicates service is running. But when I log in via remote desktop (using same Administrator ID), the tray icon is red and says service not running - when actually it is running.

This is kind of problem for me. The machine is a headless media server and I need to administer it via remote desktop.

Ahhh, i see.

So does the user you logging on as on the remote box have Admin priviledges?

Ill test this myself, but its going to take a few days.

Yup, the user ID does have admin priviledges. I used this same ID when logging locally AND remotely with remote desktop.

Hi.

Have you already found a solution, cause i have EXACTLY the same problem!

Just reinstalled my system (also a media server) and get this error via remote desktop. if you want, i can attach my logs also.

btw: cc2 ran on my old windows installation just fine via remote desktop. i don't know what's different now...

XP SP2 German.

But I don't think it matters.

Found out the following: My Windows did only boot to the logon screen, from there I logged on via Remote Desktop. If you boot Windows completly and THEN use RD, you shouldn't have a problem.

It seems, many services aren't started properly with the first method. if you look into the task manager, you'll see way to little tasks running. Don't know why this is...

I`m having the same problem. My ".flac player" has no keyboard and no screen other than the Crystalfontz 634 via serial and i only control it through remote desktop from our two laptops.

I'd like to see a smart sollution to this problem :eek:
