Own a Acer easyStore H340 Windows Home Server? Don’t be like me and spend countless hours trying to figure out why the hell the box keeps randomly shutting off. I spent the last two nights running spy sweepers and virus scans, pulling hard drives and swapping memory in search of a solution. I’m better than that.
What I should have done first is ask Google. She (that’s right, I picture Google as a smart, but seductive, oracle) has all the answers as long as I know what to ask.
It turns out that there is a bug with the WHS LightsOut plug-in that comes pre-installed on the computer. Just uninstall the app via Add/Remove Programs in the control panel and either update to the newest version here or run without it; I did the latter. More info about the bug can be found here and here.
thanks for the advice
Thanks! I do not use lights out so I am not running into this. I will update it though.
Acer products are simply amazing.I own an Acer TFT Monitor and i simply love it !
They must have fixed that bug in the lights out plug in. My server has been up and running just fine for over a week, backup features are awsome.
I was in Best Buy looking for an HP, but they were out of stock, so I thought I would give it a whirl and it was a great price. So far I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
My problem is trying to find instructions on how to transfer my iTunes library to the server. iTunes recognised the device as soon as it was active on my home network. I just can’t find any details on how to transfer the music from the native iTunes on my HP Media Center PC. Any ideas?
