For some reason this morning, SAB failes to luanch.


Have these two errors in windows event logs:

```
The description for Event ID 4100 from source SABnzbd Binary Newsreader cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

SABnzbd
Panic exit

```

and

```
The instance's SvcRun() method failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "sabnzbd\misc.pyo", line 781, in exit_sab

```

Helper service runs fine.

What happens if you run SABnzbd not as a service?

Also, did you maybe just install a Windows update? Have you restarted your PC already?

When not as a service it launches fine. Can I run the .exe manually defining my config file? so "sabnzbd.exe -f C:\Sabnzbd\sabnznbd.ini "

No windows updates. Don't know of anything that changed in my enviroment.

Maybe try and remove and reinstall the service? Maybe some path or permission changed.
