Mine doesn’t seem to be working & it isn’t in the task manager either.I tried uninstalling & re-installing & still isn’t running.I’m on a 64 bit ,Win7 laptop though I have the 32 bit installed.I was curious how to get this running as I’d like to try to figure this out:)

If you are on Windows, go to the Start menu and there under DAZ3D should be a command to Start CMS

Make sure your firewall is not blocking it.

I think I’m using windows firewall-how do I set that not to block the CMS?

Windows 7 or Vista?

Vista Go to the Control Panel > Security > Windows Firewall > Allow a Program Through Wndowss Firewall and naviagte to CMS and hit accept/ok

windows 7, I think I got it added but it still refuses to run & it does not show in task manager.Would it affect it if my DS4.5 is located on an external harddrive?

It shouldn’t matter if DS4.5 is installed on an external drive, as long as you installed it on this system.  Did you have earlier versions of DS4 installed?  CMS doesn’t get uninstalled when you update DS4, so you may have an old version.  If you uninstall CMS using “Start > Programs > DAZ 3D > DAZ Content Management Service > Uninstall CMS”, then reinstall DS4.5 you’ll get the latest CMS.  If that doesn’t solve it, what other security software are you running?

I did uninstall it thru the control panel so I’m hoping any older copies were removed. I have Avast & Malwarebytes on my system & the
User Account Control is set at the default area.I did a reinstall with ds4.5 today trying ta solve this -no luck

I would try going offline and deactivating Avast, and see if that resolves the problem—if it does, then we can try to find out how to configure Avast to allow CMS.

k i’ll try that in the morning:)

nope i get same results even after disabling the avast.

In my case, I noticed that for some reason CMS has started to die and leave me sans Smart Content. This is probably related to Windows Update pertaining to some .dll redistributable thingies…

I’ve had problems with the CMS stopping as I boot up DS…I’m still trying to work it out and I’m seriously considering using the other options.

And yes I just did a windows update but I was having problems prior to that. I’d been beta testing the garibaldi plugin and it crashed. I haven’t been able to get 4.5 to work since then despite lots of clean reinstalls. : ((
