Openfire doesn't work after computer restarts

hi everyone,

I’ve installed openfire in a desktop (no server at the moment) and it works fine for just once until the computer doesn’t switch off. After i restart my computer the openfire doesn’t work, i can’t even launch the admin console.

Do i really have to install it in a server or is there anything i should do so that i dont have to reinstall and create new users every time the computer shuts down.

please help!
