Can't initialize GC through Chemstation

I have been using Chemstation with my Agilent 7890/5975C for a few years now.  I closed down the software and machine to perform a source cleaning.

 

Now, when I attempt to open Chemstation it state: "GC error: CreateNotificationHost() in InitializeDevice() failed" and Chemstation shuts down.

 

Any clues or remedies?

  • Thank you.  Have not yet tried a repair.  Will do so as soon as I find that pesky CD-ROM.  Lol.  I don't necessarily believe it is a hardware issue as it seems to communicate fine with the GC when connecting on the "MSTOP" bar, etc... But I will investigate further if the repair doesn't work.  I'm just trying to figure out why, all of a sudden, it would start doing this.  Literally, all I did was shut down the GC/MSD in order to clean the source which I have done the same way many, many times.
