Hi,

Some of our developpers made a small tools that reads out activity coming into the serial port. I want to install this tool as a service so I've used the sc.exe tool from the Win2k resource kit.
The installation of the service is quiet easy but when I want to start the service I get this error:

Could not start the YOUR SERVICE NAME service on Local Computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.


Although when I start the program, which is only 76kb big, it starts running right away. In my event viewer I see event 7000 and 7009 showing:

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the YOUR SERVICE NAME to connect.

Any got any idea if I can adjust this timeout or try something else??

Thx, Bart.
