I have the developer's version of ColdFusion 8 installed on a Vista 32-bit computer. It is installed as a stand-alone server. Usually it starts automatically when my computer starts, but now it doesn't. So I tried to start it manually and this it what I got:
"Windows could not start the ColdFusion 8 Application Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to server-specific code error 2."
Having Googled for a while and not finding any solutions that worked, I did a system restore to 2 days ago (I'm pretty sure ColdFusion was working then). This did not work. So I uninstalled and delete ColdFusion, then re-installed it under IIS (for irrelevant reasons). Still the same error, which is over my head why the error would still be there. So after that didn't work, I did another system restore to a point where I know ColdFusion worked. Still I get this same error. (It is now a stand-alone server again since the last system restore undid the new installation)
Does anyone have any suggestions? Most of the treads I found while searching were relating to Coldfusion 7 or lower and didn't help me out, and the few I did find concerning ColdFusion 8 didn't fix the error.
If you need anymore info please just let me know.
Thanks for your time.
