hello, just want to give an update on my problem (regarding timer problem with service) I do not get the problem when I use srvany.exe(instead of api udf). I am not blaming the API udf posted here (coz I changed/moved lines - here and there and my api service works in all but one machine). I think udgeen's explanation probably the most correct explanation for the timer-wakeup problem i encountered. Anyway, thanks to everyone sharing - udf's and replies.

wink3 sp2 did not solve my problem. my service still will stop waking up. but the service works in other servers. my problem is probably not autoit related?

hi udgeen, Thank you for your reply. appreciate it. After doing some more research (googling). i found this http://blog.realcoderscoding.com/index.php...3-sp1/#comments Apparently its a bug of Windows 2003 with sp1. There is a bug where timers will fail to trigger. But the funny thing is according to microsoft, its a .Net framework bug I dont know how it affects Autoit but I suspect this is the one causing the problem. Now I am at Win2K3 sp2 and will test my autoit service. Will give an update later.

Hi, I am using this service udf. But I am getting a problem with my service. In one environment where I run it,.. it will eventually stop. The service will run, but after a while,. it will stop looping. The last line it will run is sleep(). So somehow, it wont wake up anymore. Any thoughts? This service has its own service account with all the rights. The service is still alive in task manager, its just stops looping. Thanks.
