    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    Update: seems everything is fixed now...I gave plenty of time to make sure it didnt reoccur. MegabyteCoffee was able to fix my permissions. We had to get around my old POS tech companies "secret" passwords to do so and had it up and running in under 45 minutes. no more issues on that. Thanks...

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    alright, so it should be as simple as plugging a usb keyboard into each terminal? sounds simple enough i'll be back in the morning with an update. I just dont understand how this problem got created in the first place. seems pretty extensive to fix this. thanks buddy

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    im sorry for the possibly ignorant message but i want to make sure I'm fully understanding this. on the file server, i'd boot up, task manager, kill a batch file if its open and kill the iber.exe process. Now doing that on the file server would get me to the windows desktop on each terminal...

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    now thats even more confusing to me because they boot up saying waiting for system config to complete. I dont even know how i'd share them as when they are working correctly, they go straight to aloha log-in so unless there is a system button in aloha that allows me to get into the back end of...

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    update: all OS are XP when searching for %iberdir%/data...I could not find the %iberdir%. What I ended up doing was going to the dos prompt like I did previously in this thread. I typed in: cd /d %IBERDIR%\data [PRESS ENTER] that received this following location F:\bootdrv\aloha\data So...

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    well right now i think I need to ride out to the restaurant which is a good hike. i'm trying to assist the manager over the phone but he cant seem to find the %iberdir% folder right now when he uses explorer. its not even coming up in searches yet just last week it did.

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    oh ok...i think I undrestand now. I wasnt under the impression you were referring to permissions in windows but rather than aloha for some odd reason. can you tell its been a while since i was in college and doing programming??? ha so this is my understanding now. I want to go to the...

    Aloha POS Terminals "Waiting for System Config to Complete"

    well do you have any literature (website or pdf file) or anythign I can read that dumbs it down a notch for me on fixing the file permissions? I know my computers (for MIS graduate) but dealing with aloha is new to me so i'm always fearful of screwing something up on the back end and the system...
