LMS woes

After several years of running LMS7.7 on WHS, things suddenly went wrong a couple of weeks back. It started with the nightly rescan failing part way though, and then, after a power failure, LMS wouldn't run at all. It should run at start-up, although that's always been unreliable, but has always started manually in the past. Now, it states LMS is starting for a few minutes before reverting to LMS has stopped. I tried re-installing it, but I get an error message asking me to check if I have sufficient priviledges. No amount of re-trying clears the error. I then tried upgrading to 7.8 but got the same error message. I'm accessing the server via Windows Home Server Console.

I'm not really bothered about the update side of things - I just want it to work!!

Any help gratefully received,


Peter
