I was guessing the two approaches would do the same thing. I just was liking the approach that didn't involve re-installing :)
Thanks for all the suggestions, it's nice to have a list that can be of such help so quickly.

That's the "hackish" way of doing it. :) What I was suggesting was using the aremaild.bat file to uninstall and reinstall just the windows service. Same reason, same result, different approach. I like Norm's approach and will make a note of it for the future. Thanks for sharing! --- J.T.

Opela, Gary L CTR USAF AFMC 72 CS/SCBAH says: no Opela, Gary L CTR USAF AFMC 72 CS/SCBAH says: i saw someone suggested reinstalling the email engine Opela, Gary L CTR USAF AFMC 72 CS/SCBAH says: i would prefer not to do that Kaiser, Norm E Civ USAF AFMC 96CS/SCCE says: OK...let's check the registry Opela, Gary L CTR USAF AFMC 72 CS/SCBAH says: is it a remedy key?

Or, at least, since the last time you restarted it? If so you may need to uninstall and reinstall the Remedy Email Engine service. You can do this using the .bat files in the email engine install folder. --- J.T.

I'm running java version 1.6.0.7 (java 6 update 7) and remedy version 6.3. My email engine crashed a few days ago and I cannot get it to come up. I'm getting the error: The Remedy Email Engine service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service. There is a chance that my Email Server User's password expired. Just in case, I reset his password in Active Directory and in the AR System Email Mailbox Configuration Form. I then tried to restart the email engine, but it was to no avail. I have not yet restarted remedy, I'm trying to avoid that. Still, whenever I try to restart the engine, in the event log, I see the following three errors: Type: Error Event ID: 4098 The AR System Email Engine service failed to start. Type: Error Event ID: 4096 Could not load the Java Virtual Machine Type: Error Event ID: 4097 The LoadLibrary function failed for the following reason: The specified module could not be found. . It sounds like it's having java errors big time. Does anyone have any suggestions? I navigated to my email directory and there were two log files, stderr and stdout. Neither of them had any relevant information. The arerror.log doesn't say anything either.
