Re: Cobian Reflector Service Stopped

Post by bilvihur »

I woke Windows 7 up from Sleep this morning, saw the Reflector icon, and opened Reflector. The menu opened, but it said Engine Not Found and no tasks were displayed. The Task Manager said the CobVSCRequester Service was running, but the CobianReflectorService was stopped. I ran Tools->Repair Permissions, but nothing changed. I get Access Denied when I try to start the CobianReflectorService. Is there a way to start the service so that I don't have to re-install again? Thanks.

Service and Application Manager.

And check the Event Viewer to know the cause of the crash.

I'm not sure whether I actually opened the menu, or just looked for the Reflector icon at 7:36 last night. I booted Windows, looked at emails, then I put it into sleep mode.

I went to Windows -> Services and was able to restart the Reflector Engine Service from there. Thanks. This is a reasonable fix for the time being. :)

aha... I see. Thank you. Is the service running under the System account, may I guess? Or under some other account?

It's logged on as Local System (as far as I can tell). I didn't modify anything in the Reflector setup.

I will do that. Is there any internal Reflector log that I should activate or send if it happens. I'd like to help. Thanks.

Thanks! No, just check the Event Viewer again if kit happens and send the details: if it happens after awaking...was the computer sleeping or hibernating, etc.

Since the re-install on 11/24, and having to manually start the service on 11/26, I've done numerous Shutdown/Reboot and Sleep/Wake sequences, and Reflector has worked each time. I haven't changed anything (that I know of) on my end. Do you have any idea what might have caused the original problem? Thanks.
