Win server 2003 UPS service will not start

[Guest Christopher@REMOVEbundy.co.uk]

I have had some difficulty with the UPS service. I think this was

caused by trying to load powerchute then removing it.

 

To start with the UPS tab was not viewable however a few registry

entries fixed it.

 

Now the UPS service will not run because it cannot find the file

 

Can some kind sole point me in the right direction

Check your event logs, for starters - and mention what you did in the

registry.

 

That said, if you've got an APC SmartUPS, I strongly recommend you use

PowerChute anyway.

Registry Entries

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UPS

 

Value Name: ShowUPSTab

Data Type : REG_DWORD

Data: 1 to show UPS tab, 0 to hide the UPS tab

 

 

This made the Tab appear

 

Event Log says there is a missing file but not which one, I thought it

might be eventlog.dll but that was OK

 

I tried to use Powerchute before but I suspect I was using the wrong

version. I have an APC Smart-UPS 1250 with good batteries. what

version of Powerchute should I use ?

 

Ive made a data cable a la Microsoft that features a 10k resistor.

Knowledge base 102711

 

Thanks for your help

I believe it's Business Edition 7.05 - try downloading it, install it, and

if you still don't want to use it, then uninstall it to see if it fixes what

got broken before...

I'm not familiar with that kind of stuff - I use the cables provided with

the UPS. Check with APC to make sure it'll work.
