     use strict;
     sub StartServ 
     {
 
     $computername = '';
     $servicename = 'ProtectedStorage';
 
     Win32::Service::GetStatus("\\\\".$computername, $servicename, \%s
+tatus);
     die "service is arealdy started\n" if ($status{CurrentState} == 4
+);
 
     Win32::Service::StartService("\\\\".$computername,$servicename) |
+| die "Can't start service\n";
     print "Service started\n";
     }
