Don't know but you should go into the Services manager (right click my computer choose manage and services in the control panel), right click on the service in the right pane and choose properties click on the recovery tab and set the options for the service to restart if it fails and to reboot the server if it can't restart.

Early this morning it just died. I restarted the service and it seems OK, but I'm curious to know what could just make it go away like that? _____ Rod Falanga http://amci.unm.edu <http://amci.unm.edu>
