Aloha freezing up after DST update

[macabeee]

Again, I'm so glad I found this forum. I am running Aloha Tableserve 5.032 and have been having nothing but issues since running the Daylight savings time update.

A little information: I am running three terminals (1 master terminal and 2 regular terminals) and a file server. I ran Microsoft's DST update on the file server and since then one of the regular terminals is freezing up constantly, the other is running super slow and the master terminal seems fine, but the time is off. I've tried un-selecting the automatic daylight savings time adjustment in Windows on all three terminals and the file server, but that hasn't made a difference.

Is this a known issue with the version of Aloha that I am on? What can I do to fix the issue? I am to the point where my plan is to ghost an image that was taken before the DST update of the regular terminal HD's onto a new HD, but am I going to have to go back to the previuous images for all 3 of the terminals and the file server??

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Use the Aloha DST Update utility from Radiant. That should do it.

Thanks Mitchell

Do I install the patch onto the file server only or onto all of the terminals and the server?

Install the patch on the file server first, and see if that works for you.

I'm having a similar issue with Aloha TS 5.3.26 and Windows 2000 server. Intermittently, when I start the ALoha MGR, the program will just freeze on "Initializing...". This all began to happen after the DST Aloha patch was ran. I have the CTLSVR logging as the administrator account, the debouts do not say much and the only thing that seems to fix the issue is when you close Aloha MGR, hit "End" on the error and try to start it again. There is no pattern but it is happening to all of my stores running 2000 Server. Is there any known fix to this short of upgrading to XP?
