Hi Anne,

aiStarter runs in the background on your machine when you log in, so you don't need to run it separately like on Windows. Is the computer shared with multiple users, and are other users logged in? If so, the aiStarter process might be bound to their inactive session rather than your active session.

Regards,
Evan
