SQL Connection Error messages - PT2 & PA Hud

[TheSword]

Windows XP (SP3)

I don't know what is causing this. I search the old forums and found just this...

archives/PT2/viewtopic.php?t=22277&highlight=sufficient+privileges

the guy said it was his McAfee AV program that was causing this error.

I do think my Firewall/AV may have caused the problem, because I had used SQL for over a year previously. When I disable them though, I am still getting the same messages. I'll try again and if I find anything I will post it here.

If not, I am considering a new pc, in which case I'll reinstall and use a different firewall/AV - I'll probably then move to PT3 at that point (once support is available for Absolute, which hopefully isn't too far away?)

Thanks for your help Pat - it does seem as if something has been corrupted, as I have now had 2 or 3 error messages for other applications which I have not encountered before, so it may well be an issue with my pc now.

Did you delete the postmaster.pid file?
What happens when you try to start the service from the Admin Tools > Services window? What error do you get?
When did you backup the database last?
