Brian,

	this is the error message I always get when I try to install/run a
service from within cygwin.  However when I next reboot it comes up fine,
and subsequently it does as well.

	This is actually a known Windows problem, I saw it somewhere on
the web. What they say is to ignore the error as it is informaitonal only
and the service may still start.  I don't subscribe to that viewpoint.

HTH,

Jim
