In regards to Mike's suggestion, we are still looking into it. We were partially successful; we could see IExplore open in the Task Manager of the server.
In regards to what I am actually trying to do, it's basically to open a dynamic swf file that uses flash remoting to gather the user's options and pop it open on the server's desktop so I can take a snapshot of it open on an IE window. Once the window is captured as a jpeg, I crop it and save it. To summarize, I want to have a jpg version of the swf file created based on a particular client's options. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

By default, programs run by service processes don't appear on the desktop. To make them appear, you need to enable the desktop interactivity option for that service within the Services MMC. However, you might be better served by describing what you're actually trying to do, as there may well be a better way.
