regarding illegal characters that you could "try" removing the quotes and
restarting the service to see if that helps...I have always used double quotes
and that is the only thing i could thing of that might have an affect...unless
of course you are choosing the wrong entry.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=273325814-06042005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Have you tried changing the 'Display' name in services. If this is
a Win2k or higher you can do this by right clicking the service, select
properties and change the Display name. Not sure if this will work, but
the command line 'net stop' and 'net start' will use the display name and
that should only affect what is seen in services.msc, not what your
program sees.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
