Although I haven't played with services I think there is a little confusion here. What I think you are doing here is setting up a service that when run starts softsqueeze. The Instsrv command installs a new service. That service runs the srvany.exe application. What you then need to so is to edit the registry entry for the new service that you created to point it as softsqueeze. I'm assuming that srvany.exe gets a parameter which is the path of softsqueeze when it runs on startup. Here is a link to a Microsoft Support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890 which also describes what Jim mentioned. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
