Re: cipe-win32 service fails to start

I had this problem on every installation I tried whether XP or W2K.

Since the service could be started from the command line with net start
I figured it had to be a timing problem, that something wasn't ready as
the service tried to start that should have been.

Fixing it was easy, I just delayed the start of the service a little by
removing it from the service group NDIS and making the start dependent
on a late starting service, in this case "Spooler".

Since doing this I have had no problems.

Sooooooo in .reg terms

----------------------cut---here----------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CIPE_Daemon]
"DependOnService"="Spooler"
"Group"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CIPE]
"DependOnService"="Spooler"
"Group"=-

ps. messing with your registry can cause serious problems - you should
back-up beforehand
(You knew that, right?) :-)

Hope this helps
