Error when startin Teststand 4.1

[OnlyOne]

Hello,
when i start TS 4.1 i get the attached error-popup "Attention: The TestStand service did not start up promptly."
This happens since i killed a process in the Taskmanager (XP SP3) which was called something like TestStandServer.exe.
What do i have to do to remove this error-popup?
Thx for your help

To OnlyOne -
The TestStand Service is installed by TestStand. TestStand uses the service to support version switching and configuring development environements like MSVC, CVI and LabVIEW to work properly with TestStand. We moved to a service to support Windows Vista better. You are seeing the prompt because TestStand engine attempts start and use the service to validate that integration with developement environments are correct. I believe that the OS is displaying the prompt, but I am not sure. If you restart you system or go into Windows Services and restart the TestStand service, you should no longer see the prompt.

I am curious, why did you kill the service in task manager in the first place, were you just trying to cleanup all TestStand processes?

Hi Scott,
i was just trying to remove all NI-processes from memory.
But after a restart everything was ok. I first thought the service is started when TS start and didnt know thats its a windows-service.
Thx
