[raj.bhakte]

I created a service in windows XP and linked it to a batch file that i have created, however whenever i try to start the created service it gives me an error:

"error 1053: the service didnot respond to the start or control request in timely fashion"

i have tried setting it to automatic and restarting the computer but it didnot solve the issue. PLEASE HELP!

The ServiceBase class calls the OnStop method directly from the Service command handler that is defined in the ScDispatcherLoop of the Advapi32.dll file. After 30 seconds, if the ScDispatcherLoop thread is not ready to receive a new service command from the service control manager, Windows Service Controller marks the service as "time out." Therefore, you receive this error message. ....    therefore .... to repair this problem you will need to get a sp update .  hope that will help you out some
