If you find that the first time you run AdeptXBBS and it beeps twice and then returns you to the command prompt you might want to try the following in order to see if it fixes the problem. There is a known bug in the event loader that can cause adeptxbbs to not load properly on a new install. Go into your \adept\events sub-directory make a temp sub-directory. MD TEMP Move all the files into that temp sub-directory MOVE * Temp then run AdeptXBBS again, and it should come up without any problems. Sorry for the inconvience, we'll try to have this fixed in the next version of AdeptXBBS.
