How did you set the start up option for the service? To check the settings, go into the Services control panel and check the Start Up type of the service. It has to be set to Automatic if you want it to start when Windows starts.
Does your service require special permissions? Does it start when you run it under an account that has more privileges?
I have built a few services in the past, but not that much. One of the projects I did is described in the What's This link in my signature...
