POS hangs at start

I have been installing a new RMS/POS system and setting up the test DB for training tomorrow. Everything was working properly until I changed the pc from a domain client to a workgroup client. POS Store Administrator and Store Manager work properly but Store Operations POS just hangs on startup and never asked for login or password.



I uninstalled all POS programs including MSDE and reinstalled. The server that was the domain controller has been removed from the network.



Store Operations POS still hangs on startup and never gets to the logon screen.



HELP!!!!

I am going to guess that you need to change your servername where the database lives to an ip address. that should fix it.

Thanks Ozzie for the answer back. I have continued to work on this issue and now have some new information. The network is clean. I did a system restore to a good place and discovered that a improperly installed OPOS device was causing a chain reaction of bad things. I reinstalled the OPOS devices with good results. I have had to work through bad installation instructions from the manufacturer and suppliers. I tested my way through the drivers and found the correct installation instructions for quiet a few new devices that are supplied by POS-X. Now that most of the driver issues are resolved, I can continue with this installation.
