[DUG] Trouble with NT Services starting on Server 2003

[Stefan Mueller]

Did you try switching off "Data Execution Prevention" for your service? W2k3
has this enabled by default and that is often causing the problems - It's in
the System Properties dialog, under Advanced go to "Performance" and then
the last tab page of that dialog.

 

Kind Regards,

HI all, 

Just wondering if anyone has had problems with an NT Service on Windows
Server 2003. 

I have a simple service that works fine on the XP machine it was developed
on, and also on an in-house Windows 2003 Server (Web edition), but "half
works" on the client install. 

I say "half works", as it works as it should ( a proxy for a Db Server ),
but Windows reports that it did not install in a timely fashion, and reports
that it is in the "starting" state. 

I've checked all dependencies - the fact that it "works" proves that - and
also tried setting the log-on to administrator instead of system in case
there was a permissions issue - also there are no visual forms, so does not
need to interact with the desktop...... etc. 

Any ideas? 

kind regards 

Gary
