User-defined windows service does not start - 1053 error

Question

I am trying to convert a console exe into a Windows service running on Windows 2003. I used the Windows Resource Kit tools to install it as a service (followed the information in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890). However, when I try to start the service I get a 1053 error - "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

Any ideas on how to fix this?

TIA
