7.3 won't connect -Episode Node service can't be restarted
Looks like the Windows 7 system rebooted due to an update or an error this weekend. Episode will not connect. I tried upgrading to 7.4 and seemed successful, but I just got the warning when it tries to start that the "node Service and Client Proxy will not connect." In services when I try to start the Node service I just get "Error 1: Incorrect Function"

You can try deleting:
Assistant.xml
IOServer.xml
Node.xml
and
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Telestream\Episode 7
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Telestream
C:\ProgramData\Telestream\Episode 7
C:\Windows\Temp\Episode
C:\Windows\Temp\EpisodeCacheThen reboot the computer and start Episode again.

Greg Van Antwerp Everything I list can be safely deleted. They will be rebuilt.
C:\ProgramData\Telestream\Episode 7\IOServer.xml
C:\ProgramData\Telestream\Episode 7\Node.xml
C:\ProgramData\Telestream\Episode 7\Assistant.xm.
You may want to try this as well. -
CraigS deleted all of those folders -rebooted - saw in services that Node Service was stopped and then ran the suggested .bat file as administrator and the Node service on the CMD window reports that it will not start. Error 1. There is a line suggesting to type: "NET HelpMSG 3521", but I can't figure out where to type that because the program runs and pressing any key closes the cmd window. Opening up to a fresh cmd prompt and typing that doesn't go anywhere. Firewall is off. S

Try doing a complete uninstall of Episode. Then search the system for Episode and/or Telestream files and delete them as well. You may want to deactivate Episode first so keep your activation handy.
Reboot the computer and reinstall Episode 7.4 and then start it up and see what happens. -
Greg Van Antwerp It's possible the preferences are corrupted. The activation file would be in a system directory as opposed to a user directory. Given the situation with the activation code, fill out the form and we may be able to do a few more things to help you through this.

CraigS Can I just delete the Node service, reload 7.4, and hope it will bring it back?Do try that.
