specified location, set the logon for the installed service to a user name and
password that exists on the network. Also, that user name must have sufficient
read/write permissions to get the required bitmaps and xrefs for the scene to
render as well as write the frames to specified location.
To remove the server service from memory, execute the following from a
Command Prompt window or the Start menu > Run function:
