Thanks for your comment Ivan. I am signed in as an administrator when i start the service and I am able to start and stop other services on the system. I also have the service running under the &quot;LocalSystem&quot; account.

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have a problem getting a service written in VB.NET to start on my machine. I have stripped back all the code so I just have a timer and I write to a log when the timer expires. When I start the service, it remains in the starting state and does not change to running. This is only a problem on my dev machine. The service is running though as entries are being written to the log every 30 seconds. When I start the service, I get a 1053 Error.<br />
<br />
Both machines are running Win2K Pro.<br />
<br />
I don't think this is a code issue but I would appreciate any help I can get.<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Service stuck on starting state.
