Great, as soon as you get that error go to the event viewer and check both application and system and see if there is any more info there on the error :wink:

Hi Shane!

Attached, the 2 screen shots of the event viewer, dated Sept 26 (date when I attempted to open the disk manager showing error).
As requested, the "application" and the "system" report.

Thank you.



(modified from above post and images)
After posting the images, I researched the reported error, and found that they were caused by a "ram drive" application. 
I uninstalled this app and it is no longer running.
So now when I run the event viewer, it is now reports all clean. 

However, the Disk Manager error is still present (it appears that it might not be related)?.

Thank you.

Shane:
Ok, now lets check to see if all the services needed for it are running :-)
Go to services and go to the LDM services (DMserver oh and I checked my system and it should be set to auto startup, not manual)
Right click on the service and go to Properties, check the Dependencies tab and ensure that all the dependent services are also started and working and of course see if the service itself is running.

I attached a screen shot from my xp in vmware.

Also there is a way that might work to fix it. I was helping a user who had MDAC not working on their system, the ado part of it. Normally registering the files does the trick as they write themselves to the registry. Well it didnt work for them, so I went and manully grabber the registry keys for ado and had them apply them and it fixed them up. (I will be adding those reg keys to the windows repair)

It is possible we need to do the same here and I just need to find the right registry keys :-)

After all the error not registered means that windows couldnt find something it was looking for in the registry.

LDM:
Thank you Shane!

DMserver service now changed from manual, to auto startup.
Confirm that LDM services are running.
Confirm that Dependencies found are also started and running.
Also tried rebooting computer, unfortunately no change to original error.

Attached screen shots confirming state of services.

Shane:
Then it isnt a service problem at all, but instead is really looking like it is simply a registry problem.

So I will load up and see what i can find in the registry for it and have you try a few things :-)

Will post back in a bit.

Shane
