|  Prev  Next  | 
When nothing seems to help and the system behaves strangely, restarting may resolve some issues.
    
    Note: the following statements are related to the server environment. 
Restart the following components one at a time and check the results after each attempt:
- 
      ASPNET_WP.EXE process.
- 
      - 
          Start Windows Task Manager (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete).
- 
          Select the Processes inlay and choose aspnet_wp.exe from the list. 
- 
          Click the ‘End Process’ button. aspnet_wp.exe will restart automatically.
 
- 
          
- 
      IIS (Internet Information Service).
- 
      - 
          Start the Run console (Start» Run).
- 
          Run the “iisreset” command (type in iisreset and click OK). 
 IIS will restart.
 
- 
          
- 
      The Server.
 Warning: use this method as the last resort only! Notify everyone who uses the server before restarting.
