respironics encore pro for windows vista

It worked fine for three or four days, then suddenly stopped working and all these problems ensued. The real mystery to me is that I was able to install Encore Pro 2.2 several days ago, but now I can't. Tomorrow I will try installing it to the Vista partition and see if that works. Maybe I will come up with something when I sleep on it again tonight. I hate to give up on computer stuff, but I just don't know what else to try. (This time I noticed an enigmatic error message that indicated that the Encore Pro Database had been 'suspended', whatever that means.) I did not turn off ZoneAlarm first, so I suppose I should try that before giving up. I think that was well worth doing, but I don't see how it helped my problem with Encore Pro.Įventually, I tried again to install Encore Pro 2, and it again hung up when it came to the step of configuring the Encore Pro SQL database. I also installed a registry cleaner (Comodo System-Cleaner), and cleaned up the registry and other things. Funny stuff is going on here.Īnyway, I was able to install programs again, so I installed the Microsoft Installer Clean Up Utility, but found no traces of SQL Server or Respironics Encore Pro anywhere. I have no idea how the path got changed, though. I found that the path to the program for Windows Installer was incorrect in the registry, so I had to correct that, then re-register it. Thanks, Muffy, I did indeed have to re-register Windows Installer service, and now I can install programs again.

This should do it, and you should now be able to install Encore Pro.Well, at least I fixed the problem with Windows Installer. button.ģ) On the next window click on File and Printer Sharing and OK If it is not there you must install it as follows:Ģ) On the next window click on Service to highlight it, then click the Add. On the next window, in the box under the General tab you should see a checked item ' File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks' Settings -> Network Connections -> Local Area ConnectionĪnd click the Properties.

If you have this problem when installing, go to This is an option that you set up when you configure your computer for networking and, although it may seem strange, it makes sense when you understand how a SQL server works.

It turns out that in order for the Microsoft SQL Desktop Server (MSDE) to install and function in Windows XP you must have File and Printer Sharing enabled in your networking set-up. I'm pleased to report that we have fixed the problem It is not documented anywhere in the Encore Pro instructions, so I will outline it here in case others have the same problem.

'Unable to Load MSDE successfully Please Contact Respironics For Support.'Īnd of course we all know that Respironics will not assist end-users. As many of you will have read in her thread, Fifi and I have been struggling for the past few days to get Encore Pro running on her computer.
