As System account ? Hi Guido, these are the SquidNT parameters, taken from the win 2000 server service manager : GENERAL TAB: Path exe: C:\squid\sbin\squid.exe --ntservice:SquidNT Start type: Auto CONNECTION TAB: connection: Local system account NO checkbox on "desktop interactions" Action to take when service fails: restart (firs, second, third try) DEPENDANCIES: no dependancies This morning I've the same squidNT starting failure: "2005/05/07 08:16:04| Squid is already running! Process ID 1048", with SquidNT not running :( note: service start options are -O -D (no initial dns check) My setup: Windows 2000 SERVER SP4 patched with the latest security fixes; no antivirus or other programs starts at boot time. Thank you for the help, eupec >>>Guido --------------------------------------------------------------- Scegli il tuo dominio preferito e attiva la tua email!
