Russell, Thanks for your help. The problem has now disappeared, and I can status the problematic FD just fine. I did delete the unneeded HKLM entry (and even found it on my "good" workstation). I really didn't do anything else, so the earlier FD "problem" wasn't really the failure of the FD to start but more than likely a relatively transient networking problem, or something else I did that I've since forgotten. Thanks again.

I don't even know what the service > control dispatcher is :-) This error is a seemingly harmless artifact caused by bacula being started at bootup. Basically, delete the entry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run that starts the fd. It should be started as a service, and the HKLM entry just seems to create noise. The failure for the FD to start up is likely something else - can you start it as a service, using the 'Services' entry under Administrative tools? (or the 'Services' entry under 'Computer Management')? -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
