The Service on local computer started and then stopped ,Some services stop automatically if there are not in use by other services or programs

Recently i have created a Windows service,then i have installed on my windows7 machine.
When i tried start the service i got the follwing error.
“The Service on local computer started and then stopped ,Some services stop automatically if there are not in use by other services or programs.”
I gone through the problem i have tried so many ways to get out of the problem finally i got the solution as follows.
1)      Click Run Command from start buttin
2)      Enter Services.msc then click OK,you will get all the services in your computer.
3)      Select your service and right click on the service and select Properties
4)      Goto Logon Properties à select  Local System Account then click OK

  2. I followed these steps but doesn’t seems to be solving my problem. I have a 32bit and 64bit xp supported setup file for imagelan, and am willing to install on win7 as there are no other versions available, the setup for 32bit completes successfully and lists down the service, but am getting this same error even after following these steps.

  3. May be you doesn't have proper rights for the database/file that service depends,and Check
    if you have enough disk space where the service is installed and also try to clear Event Logs

    Look at this URL to clear Event Logs

  4. Hi,

    I have this similar issue as well, tried your solution but doesn't solve.

    My service is actually a java apps that listening to a local port and initialized session pool.

    i tried manually start the service but it stopped immediately.

    cleared and checked the event log and system log, nothing shows on event log. System log shows the service start and service stopped.

    regards,
    Dennis

  8. I had a same problem,to avoid the error like
    "The xyz service on local computer started and then stopped. some service stops automatically if they have no work to do, for example performance log and alert service"
    I have removed the changes made in app.config file,
    Worked for me.
    Thanks

  19. As many people have said, a simple error from a bad web.config parameter can cause this error. Check your web.config!

  20. Either that or you ca just close the service list windows, reopen it and try again! It works...

    Also, if problems still persist, chekc your event log, it will point the error for you!!

  24. For specific to "Performance Logs and Alerts" service follow the below steps.
    1) got to run prompt, open "perfmon"
    2) goto counter logs
