* see Setting the Alternate Hostname ** Requires vregister *** This setting was added to assist with slow Windows environments and allows you to increase the time allowed for the services to start up (default is 600). Changes to the Service Startup Timeout will not be applied until you reboot the Actor, which also reboots the OS. You MUST also take a snapshot after rebooting, so the changes are included in your snapshot. This field adds the following new registry key, which has a timeout value in milliseconds: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServicesPipeTimeout | ||
