This common error usaually occurs when any service fails to start. I've had this error after succesfully working with XMail on a testserver, and then installing it on a productionserver without rereading the manual. It turned out I had accidently set the XMail Root (both in the registry as the environmentvariable) to D:\mailroot\bin instead of D:\Mailroot. I've also seen this error when not all directories where present. Have you unzipped everything, including the empty directories?

When I try to use production server, WinNT Error 2140 happens. All the settings seem very well - just like test unit - can anyone advise?
