Samba pos loading but wouldn't start

Version 4
1

customer click the icon and it starting the loading process but does not open

2

Going to need more info than that, any error messages???

I know when this has happened to me theres been a connection error message and its because the sql server isnt running, if thats the case you need to go into task manager and services and start the sql server. Once running samba will then open

But without anymore info we dont know if that is your issue

If it stuck on loading screen for very long time, then error message is there but behind sambapos screen. On your keyboard press Alt+Tab and keep pressing tab till you see a mini window with error message.

If that doesnt work. Press windows key and bottom right corner is a very tiny box next to time and date. Press it. It will minimize all windows. Then click sambapos button and you might see that error message. Screenshot and show us
