Nice. 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.

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.

Re: Email Engine will not start -- Failed to load java virtual machine -resolved thanks to norm.
Good point, Norm. Truthfully, in any production or near-production environment, for any application not just Remedy, automatic updates are probably a bad idea. Updates should be tested carefully prior to implementation. I can remember a handful of times where a windows update broke a line-of-business application. --- J.T.

Another reason I install Java in D:\Program Files\Java\jre and D:\Program Files\Java\jdk That way, if someone updates Java the paths all stay the same and (most of) this pain is avoided. :-) Tony -- Tony Worthington Sr. Technical Analyst Kohl's Department Stores [EMAIL PROTECTED] 262-703-5911 J.T.
