Hi Betty,
You said you had it running as a service, right?? If you go into your
service configuration (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative
Tools > Services) and find the service you loaded. Open it up
(double-click or right-click > properties). There should be a tab in
there for 'Log On'. This tells the service how to log on to the
operating system. By default, it uses a local system account, which is
bascially unauthenticated and 'root'-like.
Regards,
