Tried with no success. :) Thanks though. Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

Go into your services manager and view the properties for the service. Under the 'Log on' tab, you can set the service to be allowed to 'interact with the desktop'. Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

I'm just curious if there is a way to take a setup program apart to explore the application. Let me put this into context: Let's say I just downloaded the latest smilie add on for IM and email, but an suspect of spyware or other malicious intent during the installation process. Can the...

I can't use the forms.timer object because it won't run in a service. As for permissions, it successfully installs and runs under several different accounts; Local System, Network System, and my user account with has administrative access. I played with the threading.timer object before and...

I'm trying to figure out how to write a Windows service that performs a task on a set interval, however I'm having really poor luck finding a tutorial that actually works for me. I assebled this little app from two tutorials, and despite my best efforts, it will not run properly. It installs...

Okay, I'm trying really hard to understand this Threading.Timer object, so I wrote my own little app to play with. using System; using System.Threading; namespace Learn2ThreadingTimer { class Class1 { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { Animal myDog = new Animal()...

I've come across some syntax that has never been explained to me in any book, tutorial, or reference doc and it's pissing me off (to say the least!). This is the example code from MS on using the Threading.Timer object. using System; using System.Threading; class TimerExampleState {...

Perhaps a suggestion on how to collect info on the running process? Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

C# Unleashed has been very good to me. Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

Read up on Lock, Monitor, and Mutex. Those are all methods of protecting data from alteration from other threads during execution. Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

I've written a little test app that creates an event log entry every few seconds. Problem is, it works fine except that after it creates 4 log entries it stops creating entries. The service does not stop or error. All it does it stop creating entries. If I restart the service, it works again...

Thanks, I'll try that as soon as I can get some time. :D Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

public class Service1 : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase { /// <summary> /// Required designer variable. /// </summary> private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; private string strELSource = "EventLogTheft"; private string strELLogName = "EventLogTestApp"...

The [(my)service name] service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example: the Performance Logs and Alerts service." This happens when you try to start the service after installation. Googling this error returns results...

The purpose of this 'application' is to simply provide a simplified method for handling and reporting Exceptions during the writing, debugging, and testing processess. I quoted application because it's not a full application but a simple code source file I'm writing for my own utility purposes...
