"The CapSync service failed to start due to the following error. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" Does anyone have a clue to what might be causing this? Start_CapSync is a simple executable that just sends me email right now until I can get this working properly.

An NT service must follow a specific interface. To have an arbitrary program work as an NT service you can use a program from the NT Resource Kit ("srvany", or something close to that). It responds to the service control messages and just runs your program for you. If you have problem finding or setting up this program, then let us know.
