How do I reset my Ad Server if I get file open errors? - Digital Advertising Media - (Digital Signage, Billboards and Menu Boards)

Getting a file open or too many files errors normally means some one or more of the needed files used to run the Ad server software is either corrupt or deleted. 

These are the files that need to be in your c:\billboards directory to run properly. Some of the files are created by the Ad server software when it first runs while others are put there on installation.

Keep these files and delete all others including jpg and gif image files.
