I just installed the Community Feeds for Windows Home Server Add-in. Now, when I try to open the console, I just get a blue screen for the console. Any advice? The server appears to be healthy. I can go to the server using remote desktop connection but the console does not work. Should I go to the server and uninstall this add-in, or is there a way to get it to work? |

I have had a couple of times adding and removeing add-ons were something like this has happened. It has been my experiance that restarting the MMS solves 90% of all problems. |

Restarting my server fixed the blue screen console problem. Thanks for the advice. |

| Post subject: | After Ram Upgrade the console still unusable |
Greetings, Since I installed the PP1 update I have not had any success using the console. Based on the advice on this thread, I have upgraded my RAM to 2 GB. I have also (just today) added a pagefile to the d drive, and upped the page file size to an absurd size (8-10 MB on C, 8-16MB on D) and still improvement. In the console if I click on something it MAY come back in several days. PV Connect had run through its cycle and that still did not alleviate the problem (although now it seems like it is rebuilding the DB again? Does it rebuild everytime you reboot?) My backups are all failing at 69% on one machine, 74 % on the other consistently (examining clusters that have changed). I had to rebuild the server recently when I did the pp1 install, and have 3 add ins, PV Connect, Drive Monitor and tool kit. In task manager the WNCCDS.exe and Twonky are the processes using the most cpu, but the cpu usage is running about 20-50%. I really like the idea of using Twonky as it supprots a lot more files, but if its going to tank the server its not worth keeping. Has anybody with a similar problem had any success in fixing it? Thanks Malcolm |

A giant page file isn't going to help you. With 2Gb RAM, 3072 or so is a perfectly fine page file size. And whiel conventional wisdom is to put a page file on a second physical disk for performance reasons, I dunno about putting oen on the D drive of WHS. The D drive isn't exactly like a 'regular' disk volume due to the Drive Extender and that is probably jsut asking for trouble. Check your performance in task manager, if it's responding slowly then somethign is eating up CPU and/or RAM. |

Indeed, having a page file on D: is a bad idea. |

Malsnake: I was having some issues connecting through the console (was just taking forever) even after upgrading my ram. Also streaming had become very very slow. What fixed the problem for me was a server recovery. After the recovery I installed PV connect but did not install McAffee, preffering to install Avast instead. Things are running a lot better now and connection to the console is quite snappy. |

I have read post somewere that if your server is running slow and you are having trouble connecting it could be because the logs are full and need to be cleared. I think that you can use the toolkit add-on or got to the file directly. |
