HELP! Manager won't start

[sv]

Arrrhhhh!

last night our render farm went nuts, started kicking out all sorts of errors and nothing rendered.
Coming in today, we've tried rebooting our entire network, and we've been getting all sorts of weird errors - 'forced connection closed due to general TCP/IP failure', others like 'weird generic eror code 32907430' (or something)

We've eventually shut down the enitre network. Rebooted the manager machine first and guess what? We are now getting this:



It won't even load.
I've uninstalled backburner, re-installed. Same error.
We've upgraded our Java runtime libraries, same error.
We've uninstalled .NET framework 2 completely, then re-installed, re-installed Max 9 with the .NET framework 2 hotfix, re-installed backburner and still the same eror.

Please can anyone help? This is a nightmare - we can't do any work untill this is sorted.

Windows Server 2003....

did you install the latest service pack? from what im reading on the area, it seems sp1 is doing alot more harm than good

[edit]
although i haven't seen that error be associated with sp1...yet.

[sv]

yes, we did install SP1 for Max 9.
Although i have uninstalled Max and .NET and backburner and reinstalled (obviously without SP1) and still this error.

[jacksc02]

are there any old versions of backburner still installed?

[sv]

no, doesn't backburner 2007 uninstall the old versions anyway?

And it's been working well for months, then literally out of no-where just started kicking up a load of errors, and finally stopped even loading and gave out the above C++ error.

We are now thinking it has something to do with the fact we have 2 Windows 2003 servers in the same network - don't ask why, we didn't build one network from the beginning, but at one stage (about a year ago) combined two networks into one. Thus 2x server 2003's. I really don't think they like to co-exist, our network has always been shit, and our support company and IT guy are both a bunch of monkeys.
Seems like i'm the one telling them what the problems are, and having to work out myself how to solve it.

(sorry, really stressed about this, have loads to get done)
