Lost all of my devices, events, etc

[pcgeek]

I lost everything after my computer rebooted. Here is the error log. It is also saying my DSC license is invalid although I know it is valid. Any ideas?

I assume the events are listed in the database. I'll give a check there.

[Rupp]

Sounds like you Microsoft 2.0 .net framework may have become corrupted. Try shutting down HomeSeer and doing a repair on your 2.0 .net framework.

[pcgeek]

Thanks Rupp. I tried to repair but no luck. I am using Vista Ultimate and their is a known issue with trying to repair the .net framework. I recently installed IIS 7 so I can run my other websites. It sounds like there may be a coincidence going on as this is the only time I rebooted since the IIS 7 installation. I'll post back as I delve into this issue.

[pcgeek]

No luck with the repair. Vista is a pain. I did a system restore and now have some other issues. Definitely looks like a .net issue. I think I may take Vista and throw it out the window and reinstall XP. Guess I need to find out how to transfer a license. I'll search the forum.

[Rupp]

Have you tried repairing your HomeSeer installation?

[pcgeek]

No, I haven't. How do I do that? I'll do a search on the forum in the mean time.

[TrOjAn]

Did you install a beta?? hs, if so you will NOT be able to go back to .66, the good news is you can go to .77 which will fix most of those issues, if your database is still corrupt you should have a few copies in config/backup.

Good luck, TrOjAn

[Rupp]

No, I haven't. How do I do that? I'll do a search on the forum in the mean time.

You repair HomeSeer using the add/remove control panel applet and one of the options is to repair the install.

[pcgeek]

Tried the repair from the add/remove programs but it didn't work. I'll try to load a previous dbase.

[pcgeek]

OK, I put in a dbase from yesterday (from the backup under config) and I have my devices and events back. I'm going to enable IIS 7 again and see if that was the culprit.

[Rupp]

IIS shouldn't affect HomeSeer at all so my guess is something became corrupt when you restarted. If you aren't doing daily backups of your full HomeSeer 2 directory you should be. There are plenty of free backup programs available here on the message board to get you started.
