I get the following erro in Studio or on web:

Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while attempting to establish a connection to the service.

The most likely cause of this problem is that the service is not currently
running. You can use the 'Services' Control Panel to verify that the service is
running and to restart it if necessary.

Windows NT error number 2 occurred.

Not to ask the obvious, but have you gone to your services panel and
verified that the ColdFusion service is running? You can find the
"Services" panel under "Administrative Tools," and you're looking for the
service "ColdFusion MX Application Server" (assuming you installed CFMX).
If it appears to be running, try restarting the service and see if that
helps. Also, has your installation ever worked or is this the first time
you've tried using CF after installing it?

You'll have to give some additional details about your operating system,
version of CF, where you got it (downloaded from macromedia.com, got it from
a CD in a book, etc.), how you installed it, whether or not you had any
errors during installation, etc. Then we might be able to try and nail
things down better. It's always really tricky to troubleshoot issues on an
individual machine through a forum, but with more information there's at
least a chance we can figure something out.
