>Hi Paul,
I used to blow out my 3700 database on occasion by putting too many runs
in it. I looked for my protocol for re-installing it, but failed to find
it.
I used to always get that "one or more services is not started" message
every time I rebooted. Could never figure out what it was referring to.
Never had any effect I noticed. Although I may have had to wait until it
happened to successfully start Data Collection.
Also, this is unlikely, but are you sure that the message you are
getting isn't just the typical "Data Collection is already running"
one--the one that is cause by persistence of the lock file after a Data
Collection crash?
