userdefi9ned service is always flagged for deletion

[drunk3nrabbit]

I'm trying to create a service using the reskit instsrv and srvany. I had this one working perfectly before someone yanked the power while norton 2007 was needing a restart and the whole windows install became unuseable (sorry, i'm still a bit angry about this) every time i type <c:\reskit\instsrv.exe TrueCrypt c:\reskit\srvany.exe> in an admin command prompt, the service is created, then while i'm setting the arguements for the service, windows flags it for deletion and the service is useless.

could someone please help, i can't start to rebuild until i get this to work.

thanks

forgot to mention that i installed vista and went straight to setting up this service, and i ran into this problem, I did another reinstall and ran into the same problem. I also consider myself an expert vista user.

Have you tried a system restore to before the power loss?

yes, the vista system repair was useless to fix it. i've already formatted everything, but i can't get get these user defined services to stay.
