Unknown Error / Installation issues Universal Server 9.14

Hi there, There seem to be numerous configuration issues with NT/Universal Server 9.14. Does anyone have a typical machine configuration that seems to work. Our (test) database is setup with - 128MB ram - NT 4.0 - Universal Server 9.14 ==================================================== To my knowledge, nothing has changed on the server. But the fact that the services no longer startup, makes me believe otherwise. ... C:\\Informix\\bin>oncheck -pe shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER 'informix_qadb3' Unable to attach to shared memory. Unknown error message -156. ... Are there any ideas/similar issues others have dealt with? Thanks, Klint

I recommend NOT having Informix start at login-time, but rather "manually" afterward. If you do this, it's a lot more stable. My hunch is that it's a timing issue with NT and not an Informix issue per se, but that's just conjecture.
