Are there any messages in the event log that give any details ?
I'm on Win 2000 myself, so I'm not sure if the following applies but :

Start | Settings | control panel
chose Administration Options
choose Event viewer.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head, is that the service
has been configured to run under a user accoutn which doesn't have the privs
to start the service perhaps ?

Cheers,
Norm.

I have a customer who just installed FB 1.0 on Windows XP. For some
reason, the Guardian isn't starting automatically at boot time.
