Walter,
  Try to go into the Service Manager (through control panel) and enter
the correct user account password for the service.

I followed the instructions given recently in this forum on how to
install
fetchmail as a service (fetchmail is running fine in the background):

* Jason Tishler <jason AT tishler DOT net> [010925 03:26]:

"--daemon 300 --nodetach" --env HOME=/home/my_account --termsig TERM
--user
'my_user'
--shutdown
> 

When I do this, fetchmail appears fine in the service list (I'm on NT)
but if
I want to start the service I get the following message:

Could not start the fetchmail service on \\machine_name. 
Error 2140: An internal Windows NT error occurred. 

I have assigned my account all the user rights to run inetd, for
instance. 

Attached is the output of cygcheck...
Thanks for any clue,
