The error message here is about as descriptive as they get: You need to make sure each service has max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, and notification_interval defined. You can do that either in the service itself, or in a template that service is based on. Since that service is based on generic-service, you could define those there if you want.
The fact that you're monitoring windows is irrelevent here; these requirements apply to any service Nagios monitors. I noticed you're also using the Nagios 3 docs as a reference to configuring your Nagios 2.1 installation, so be prepared for that to shoot you in the foot later, too.
