    Is your service dependent on another service? Then make sure that the other service is started before.

      I would suggest that you write to the event log after each call (timer1start(), processorid()...) This will show you when your service hangs...

      It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

          Ok, and after which function? You should try to log to the disk (fixed file would be sufficient first) so that you can reconstruct the point of failure...

              You have several possibilities: 1. Use log4net: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/index.html[^] 2. Directly writing to a file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa287548%28VS.71%29.aspx[^]

                  A wild guess is that the Process.Start can't run at that time (for whatever reason). Maybe put it in a try, wait and loop a few times if it fails.

                  for maybe three times
                  try
                  Process.Start
                  break
                  catch
                  wait a minute or so

                  Better yet, run that on a separate thread so the OnStart completes in a timely manner.

                          I think when I try learning proccesorid and all system info , the code is failed. I put out them and service started normally in boot.. But I have to take those informations.

                            Open services.msc. Right click on any service. You can see properties menu in pop menu. When you open properties of the service. you will see dependencies tab. Regards, Sunil G.

                                    Get the learnsystem out of the OnStart; it doesn't belong there. OnStart must start the process and exit; that's all.

                                        Probably in the main part of the Service -- perhaps check to see whether or not the system is learned:

                                        If not learned
                                        Try to learn
                                        If failed, log and return
                                        Do stuff

                                        You could then periodically check for changes in the system, too.
