Windows Service Failure - .NET Framework

Mack

I have written a Windows Service, and while it was
working fine previously, it will not start now! Everytime
I try to start it, I get a message which reads:

"..service was started and then stopped. Some services
stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service."

I dont understand why it is not working now, nothing was
changed! Any ideas?

If it has dependencies, then one of those services may have failed and is
stopping it from running.

Also, if the event log is full it wont be able to write its event
notifications and will not be able to start.
