You're not just a random lucky windows admin, it's really quite a capable server and client OS. So are *nix variants, just need to know when to use which.
To the topic at hand, that's a corrupt registry hive and easily fixed via the recovery console (backup hive files are located in C:\WINDOWS\repair). Only time I've seen that happen is bad physical drives or corrupt file systems (neither a fault of Windows). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Sando Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2006 11:16 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] HLSW stopped picking up my server I'm not sure why people bag Windows so much. My box has been running for almost 12 months without any issues at all. I have managed to un-install and re-install PHP, MySQL, IIS, and a stack of misc crap on it, and it has yet to die on me. The only reboots I've done have been part of routine maintenance (patch/hot-fix installation), or new software installations. Maybe im just the lucky 1 Windows Admin out there :) Regards, Adam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ook Sent: Monday, 21 August 2006 1:29 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] HLSW stopped picking up my server I had to restart Winbloze. Linux is looking better and better every day. Turn on my primary workstation, and I says something about c:\windows\system32\config is missing or corrupt and windows won't start, thank you for using Microsoft products. I had to boot to linux ( I have 3 OSs on the box) and restore my winbloze installation, fortunately I had a backup). I find this somewhat disturbing. No messages in the event log. Restarted srcds, restarted hlsw. Won't connect. Restart winbloze and now it works. <shrug> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chorizo Omelet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 11:44 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] HLSW stopped picking up my server > Not this exact issue, but I did finally figure out a problem I was > having during map changes - where everyone else was connected to my > server but me! > > The problem turned out to be an older hardware firewall, which only > had half-duplex on the "wan" port!
