Ok, the two most important things for you to check if something is NOT working in SharePoint 2010
- Check IIS Application Pool called "SharePoint Web Services" IS RUNNING, and make sure its not runinng as "Local System" but something that has some *UMMPHF* to it!
- Check Timer Service – this thing seems to shut itself down and doesn't restart! Make sure it is running or NOTHING will happen in your system
That will solve ALOT of your problems!
