CTX103330 - Client Network Service Fails to Start This document was published at: http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX103330 Document ID: CTX103330, Created on: Jan 29, 2004, Updated: Jan 30, 2004 Products: Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000, Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003, Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000, Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003, Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft NT 4.0 Server Terminal Server Edition Symptom The Client Network Service will not start. You may see the following errors in Event Viewer: Source: Service Control Manager ID: 7023 Description: The Client Network service terminated with the following error: Invalid access to memory location. Source: Application Popup ID: 26 Description: Application popup: cdmsvc.exe - Application Error : The instruction at ?memory address? referenced memory at ?memory address.? The memory could not be ?written.? Click OK to terminate the program. The exact memory address varies per machine. Resolution Check the server?s path statement. Verify that the Microsoft and Citrix directories are in the beginning of the path statement: 1. Right-click My Computer. 2. From the Advanced tab, click the Environmental Variables button. 3. Under System Variables, highlight Path and click Edit. 4. Copy the path statement into a text editor like Notepad and save the file to create a backup of the original path. 5. In the text file, enter several carriage returns and paste the path statement again. This is the copy to be edited. Windows will not read beyond 122 characters in the path statement. Therefore, it is best to place Microsoft directories; for example, %systemroot%\system32, at the very beginning of the path statement. Immediately following the Microsoft directories enter the Citrix directories. Move any other directories that come before Microsoft and Citrix to the end of the path statement. 6. Highlight and copy the altered path statement. 7. In System Variables, highlight Path and delete everything under it. 8. Paste the edited Path statement in System Variables. 9. Restart the server. ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - Emergent Online 99Point9.com EOL THINssentials?
