It is now running as LocalSystem but I can no longer access files on a network share. A week ago there were two MediaServers showing in Processes of Task Manager, so I deleted the User Process. I used to be able to stream those files, but no longer, though they show up in my Library. Looking through the Forum I decided it must be because I no longer have a user Server.

Have you read through this FAQ? It should help set up your Mezzmo server to access network shares.

Yes, I saw that and created credentials using my Local User Name as directed (unpassworded). I could still not see the files so I went to modify the service, but I saw no "Mezzmo" Service, so I posed this Q. Now I have found it under the name I gave to it under Media Server Settings. Working well now.

Thanks,
Tom
