Hi @sayowa8582 

The error "QBCFMonitorService not running on this computer" occurs when the QuickBooks Company File Monitor Service fails to start. This service is essential for multi-user mode and company file monitoring. Causes include damaged QuickBooks files, outdated software, or improper Windows Firewall settings. To resolve, restart the QuickBooks Database Server Manager, ensure QuickBooks is up to date, and check firewall settings to allow QuickBooks services. Additionally, reinstall QuickBooks if necessary to repair corrupt files. Contact QuickBooks support for further assistance if the issue persists.
