Error running as Windows Service

[pkgal]

I am using Nokia PC connectivity SDK, with nokia 6210 on win 2k. My application is in VB, works well while running its exe. But when i use this exe as windows service, things donot work, connection with mobile is not established, just get communication error. what to do?

Go to Services and change the service to run as administrator and not Local System.. this is most likely the problem..

give it a shot.

problem is still there. infact i was not running the service from local account but from some other user which is already in Administrators Group

I've seen this behaviour with W2K server more than Professional. I have the same problem with another program I wrote which has problems with NTSVC.OCX which is Microsofts own OCX and it can't create object even with that..

unfortunately it's out of this forums scope.

Check M$ knowledge base. It'll be a topic about running VB as a service or something I bet...

Hi, i have the same problem.
My service throws an exception when sendins sms, however if i call my program not from a service it works fine.
Please let me know if you've solved this problem.
