The issue here was that the CP tried to cnonnect to SC in order to store  
changed prefs. But as SC was not running at this point, it was timing out  
a lot.

This issue should be fixed in the next nightly build. Thanks for the  
feedback!

When activating service mode, CP will run SC with some command line to  
tell it to register as a service. Therefore you could temporarily see two  
instances of it running. Again, there was some very optimistic  
implementation. This job was run on any click on Apply or Ok, not only  
when the startup mode actually had changed.

This should be fixed too.

You should now at least see the username. We can't store the password  
though. As the service is not re-registered unless you unregistered it  
before, this shouldn't be that big of a problem any more.

The _system_? As mentioned above the CP could lock up for a few minutes,  
but not the system. But I've never seen the system freezing.

Anyway - please give the next nightly build another try. It should behave  
much better already.
