Background Transcoding/Services won't start

Hi all,

Having trouble with the last couple of versions with background transcoding or effects rendering. Basically, it doesn't work anymore.

If I hover over the icon in the notification area it says:

TranscodeService: Stopped

DMF: Stopped

TranscodeServiceWorker: Running

Server status failure.

If I right click the icon and choose Start Avid Background Services nothing happens.

If I try to open Avid Background Services Manager from the start menu, nothing happens.

Tried rebooting, no good.

I'm using a computer that's not on the approved list, but it's been fine for years.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
