About this tag
The 'server busy' error on Windows 7 Pro often appears when a program or service fails to respond, typically during startup or when running multiple applications. In the threads, users report seeing a 'Server Busy' dialog with options to 'Retry' or 'Switch To' another program. This error can occur after the system slows down while using resource-intensive software like Autodesk Revit, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator. It may also be linked to services such as Intel RST not running. The error can persist even after restarting, preventing other programs from launching. Users have found that clicking 'Switch To' sometimes dismisses the dialog temporarily, but the underlying cause often requires troubleshooting unresponsive processes or services.
