In the end it took a Windows reinstall to get SlimServer working again.
So, 2 months and 14 hours later I've got music again!!

Just wanted to offer my thanks & appreciation for the many suggestions
so far. Give me a little time to understand and implement your
suggestions and I'll get back w/the results. Maybe there's hope for
getting SlimServer up & running again.

Two things:
1. WMP (Windows Media Player) 11 uses port 9000. Do you have WMP 11?
2. There was some obscure fix for the "service already running" error
which was out there 2 years ago or so. It used to be in the FAQ, can't
find it now. Unfortunately the forum search function isn't working fo

Thanks Michael,
I'm sure it's a stupid question but what do you mean "make sure SS is
shut down" since it won't start? Slim Tray says "stopped".
Here's the result...

According to the Windows Media player help file, Windows Media sharing

Ok, from the error we know that either slim.exe is already running or
another process is listening on port 9000.

Hey Jim,
My PC chops aren't all that strong so not sure what you mean by "server
is actually running". I have a wired home network with 3 PCs but not a
