The GUI says the service unavailable but Windows shows it running

General Support / Questions

  1. Open the services and see if MCEBuddy service engine has started. If not then start it
  2. If you open the GUI app and click on events it’ll show you the windows event logs for the MCEBuddy service engine and installer. That may give some clues.
  3. Did you change the ports that MCEBuddy uses? This would be in the mcebuddy.conf file
  4. If nothing else try a clean install
