Urgent. Help me to restore my data
Posted in 2000

Hello, this is my first time in newsgroups, so please forgive me for nay
mistakes.
I have the following installation
Informix OnLine WS 7.22.TC1
MS-Windows NT 4.
Recently (27 of December) i upgraded the NT with Service Pack 4, and after
that every time i tried to start the service "Informix OnLine Message
Service" i had the message "Error 2140 Internal NT Error".
Fortunatelly i had a backup with "ontape -s -L0" just 30 minutes before the
crash.
After several discussions ant experiments with my local technical support
from Informix, they tould me that 7.22 propably does not work Service Pack
4.
So, i reinstalled NT with Service Pack 3 and after that i installed
Informix, and i had an Informix ready to work.
I tried then to get my data using "ontape -r". Because it is full restore i
did it as cold restore, and i had a message from ontape "Cannot fork server
connection".
Now, my local technical support has no ideas and i have my company not
working for the three of the most critical days of the year.
If someone has any idea about this problem, please let me know.
