LMS 7.7.2 - r33893 no longer starting on WHS1

UPDATE: Problem solved - it was ESET Nod32! Even though I turned off HTTP filtering I still needed to add SqueezeSvr.exe to the exluded applications under Advanced Setup>Web and Email Clients

LMS 7.7.2 - r33893 will no longer start on my Windows Home Server 1 machine.

I think the issue began when I installed some Windows updates for the OS.

This is what is in the LMS server log;

Slim: Web:HTTP: openport (192) Running out of good ideas for the listening port for the HTTP server - giving up.

All these ports are listed as exceptions in Windows Firewall and I also tried disabling windows firewall.

I run ESET Nod32 antivirus and I tried disabling that but it didn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas?
