Windows services failed on windows 7 when remote desktop

[Raymond Chiu]

Dear all,

I have the windows service program running on windows 7. When windows start and login, this windows service will start. But when log off and remote desktop connection and log in, the windows service does not start. Do you experience this issues?? Do you know how to solve??

Windows service does really failed to load when doing remote desktop. It has below error in event viewer.
It show error event id: 5000, source: .Net Runtime 2.0 Error in event viewer log

Description:

EventType clr20r3. P1 Monitor.exe. P2 1.0.0.0.P3 4dd1eec3, P4 system, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 471ebf0d, P7 3a23, P8 22, P9 system.componentmodel.win32, P10 NIL

It seems to be access denied. Are there any difference between normal login and remote desktop login?? Do you have any ideas to solve??

I have below code in starting the exe file.
