If it runs fine as an application started using your Windows account, but doesn't start as a service using a generic security context (Local System, Network System, etc) or a specific user account, maybe the problem is with the user account. Try running the service using your account to see if that works. If it does, create a user account just for CF, make sure it works as an application, and use that to run the service.
