Let's try some more things:

1st: Are you using a non standard location for the events?
2nd: Try to reduce the buffer ring size
3rd: Some traces of /var/log/syslog when initializing zoneminder will help to reduce the search...

I'm having a similar problem. The sources were green, but now are orange. I changed the location of the events, images and sound to another hard drive. The hard drive is mounted on boot. I have it set up as /mnt/sdc1/events...etc. I'm not sure if this is the proper format.

I have a Dlink DCS-930L and a Linksys WVC54gca attached wirelessly. Both have static IP address and are viewable in the browser.

Do the event sub directories need to be sym linked?
