This solution also worked for me.
So i just did what you suggested here and it says that that file path is not an executable program.
But hamachi has been working since I downloaded it three days ago until now. What would have changed? And how can I fix it? If I reinstall hamachi will I lose the server I have now?
Apologies, but what i was refering to was
therain:
Start > Run > cmd
in the comand prompt, key in the following exactly.
net start Hamachi2svc
If it does not work, the hamachi service process is not installed or diabled.
I did this and it said that the file is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Hamachi has been working since I installed it 3 days ago, until now. What could have changed and how?
I don't know what has changed, but this problem seems to happen almost on every reboot now. However, it's easy to fix, albeit a little extra work. See my previous post.
Mine doesn't even say starting.
And i can't tell the service to start either, the option is greyed out.
This is the only solution everyone is talking about but I don't even have that option. -.-
Oh and if i go into task manager and try to start the service through the services tab, it says that the operation could not be completed. Access denied.
I get the whole trying to kill it through Task Manager and starting the service but this still requires me to remember to check it when I reboot any of my machines.... or pray if I remote reboot them. If I forget to check the service (like this morning), I get to work and realize I can't access a remote machine. This is getting ridiculous.
I've tried other p-2-p services and haven't been as happy with them as Hamachi, so I think I'm going to find a program or script that will restart the service when it doesn't respond.... or find another service as a backup...
i tried going to the administrative tools==>services==>logmein hamachi but logmein hamachi wasn't there
plz help
have been trying to get multiplayer to work for ages

The easiest thing might be to install the free version of TeamViewer and use it to restart the remote computer. You can even restart it in the safe mode and have TeamViewer access. TeamViewer is a nice tool but they automatically flag certain accounts that they suspect are using it for commercial usage. (e.g. several computers connecting to the TeamViewer servers via one public facing IP = a business to them) If TeamViewer is not an option, then you might try this script:
#RequireAdmin AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1) AutoItSetOption("WinWaitDelay", 1) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) ;just one copy of this tool should run at a time $script_running = "keep-hamachi-alive" If WinExists($script_running) Then Exit AutoItWinSetTitle($script_running) ;this tool will uninstall and reinstall the hamachi service - if needed ;doing that will close the hamachi "window" ;A.K.A. the "Graphical User Interface" (GUI) or just "User Interface" (UI) ;so you need to decide if you want this tool to always start GUI $always_start_GUI = "yes" ;changing the "yes" to "no" tells the tool to leave the GUI off if it had been off ;or to turn the GUI back on if it had been on before this tool killed it ;to hide all of the tray tips (ballons) ;remove ";" in front of the line below ;#NoTrayIcon ;but only do this after you turn off the debug tips in the next section ;with tray tips showing and debug times off, ;you should only see tray tips when the tool first starts ;this next part is mostly for me, but I suggest that you leave this "yes/no" alone ;until you have tested to see if this tool can make hamachi reconnect for you $debug_tips = "yes" $debug_time = "5000" ;determines how long you see the debug tray tips If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("$debug_tips =", "yes", 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;read the registry to get the path to the these files $path2ini = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\LogMeIn Hamachi", "EngineConfigDir") & "\h2-engine.ini" ;if reading the path info fails, just give up If @error Then Exit If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("$path2ini = ", $path2ini, 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;if the file is not there, just give up If Not FileExists($path2ini) Then Exit EndIf ;make a backup copy of the ini file FileCopy($path2ini, RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\LogMeIn Hamachi", "EngineConfigDir") & "\h2-engine.ini.tool.backup.copy", 1) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("backing up the h2-engine.ini file", "we hope", 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;if the file is not there, just give up If Not FileExists(RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\LogMeIn Hamachi", "EngineConfigDir") & "\h2-engine.ini.tool.backup.copy") Then Exit EndIf $path2srv = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\LogMeIn Hamachi", "InstallDir") & "hamachi-2.exe" If @error Then Exit If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("$path2srv = ", $path2srv, 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;if the file is not there, just give up If Not FileExists($path2srv) Then Exit EndIf $path2GUI = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\LogMeIn Hamachi", "InstallDir") & "hamachi-2-ui.exe" If @error Then Exit If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("$path2GUI = ", $path2GUI, 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;if the file is not there, just give up If Not FileExists($path2GUI) Then Exit EndIf ;this waits up to 5 minutes for the normal install of Hamachi to get the service going For $i = 300 To 1 Step -1 If ProcessExists("hamachi-2.exe") Then TrayTip("the hamachi service started", "surprised?", 100, 16) Sleep(2000) If $always_start_GUI = "yes" Then Run($path2GUI & " --auto-start") ExitLoop EndIf TrayTip("waiting for the hamachi service to start", "moving on anyway in " & $i, 100, 16) Sleep(1000) Next TrayTip("", "", 100) While 1 ;read the whole ini file $s_ini = FileRead($path2ini) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("reading ini file", "we hope", 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;turn it into in separate lines $s_ini_array = StringSplit($s_ini, @LF, 1) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then TrayTip("parsing ini file", "we hope", 100, 16) If $debug_tips = "yes" Then Sleep($debug_time) ;read each line looking for the value of Reconnect For $i = 1 To $s_ini_array[0] -
