ETax847 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 When I start the software I get the following error message, "An attempt was made to start the server process, but the application is still unable to connect. Please start the server and try again." Any idea why this happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crank Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I had that happen once on my stand alone install. Tried again a minute later and it worked. Sorry I cant be of more assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I stop everything and then reopen I have no problem. I found you just can't rush it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNY Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I have had luck with Control panel-Administrative tools-Services-then restart ATX, I usually do 13-15. Takes only a few seconds. There are also other methods. Yes, a royal PIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 To the original poster, if this happens frequently to you after your computer has been up and running for 30 minutes, buy a new computer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sometimes the servers just don't start automatically. I bring up Windows Task Manager every morning to see if all three (2013-2015) servers are running. Sometimes, one or two have not started. I just use ATX Admin Console to start them using Windows Services is equally valid. It is also true that, even if the service is running, if any part of your system is bogged down with other things, ATX will give up trying to reach the server service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
