Hi Glenn,
In your code, there are something that does not appear clear to me.
1. In service, you can not use MessageBox.Show method.
2. in your p_Exited method, you start the windows media player process
again?
You can debug your service program using the VS.net to attach into the
service's
process to see what happen after the Windows media player start.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
