Hi Car, there were no errors registered by ColdFusion under the CF11\cfusion\logs coldfusion-error log but the error below continues to show during CF Application stop-start services.
Anit Kumar Panda - followed the steps and was able to restart all services. during that time i received the following error on eventvwr.msc
======================
The description for Event ID 3 from source ColdFusion 11 Application Server 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:
