Getting Error 101

[ICPNinja]

Once I put in my PW and it switches over to the world server selection the application hangs. Then I went to my Event Log to see what the possible problem was and it says Error 101. Taken from the Windows.com Site "This issue may occur if the World Wide Web service (W3SVC) starts before the MSExchangeIS service. The MSExchangeIS service, through the Exchange Installable File System (IFS) service, is responsible for mapping the virtual drive M that enables access to the information store through the file system. Therefore, when the W3SVC checks for the M drive locations specified in the /Public, /Exchange, and /Exadmin virtual roots, it does not find them.

This can also be caused if the Exchange 2000 server has been configured as a Front-end server. If the Storage Groups have been deleted and the Information Store service has been stopped this condition will continue on Front-end servers even after completing the steps in this article."

Would like to know how I can try and fix this problem. But it started after I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows XP Home. And stuck with SP2 sense there is no more support for XP users to get SP3. Any info on what I could do to fix this would be great. But the way things look I am going to have to save up for Win 7 and try again on that OS.

I'm not sure that the error you witnessed is necessarily related to the problems that you are having with the DDO launcher.

The W3SVC service and the MSExchangeIS service are related to Microsoft Exchange and also Internet Information Systems (IIS). And the virtual drive that the MS response mentions is SPECIFIC to a Microsoft Exchange Server.

You may want to look for other applicable Event Log objects that pretain to the DDO launcher. DDO itself may somewhere have a file that logs launcher errors, but I'm ignorant of where this file is should it exist.
