Hi Guido, sorry for the late reply, but I had to wait to see the problem another one time on my SquidNT box.

The Squid.exe.log content is:

"2005/05/04 08:14:15| Squid is already running! Process ID 1228".

I've checked the PID 1228, but is not Squid: PID 1228 belongs to svchost.exe. Squid is not present in the process table, so file squid.exe.log have a nonsense content for me (squid isn't running at all). How can I do further investigations on my problem?

Thank you, Eupec

::Guido
