I keep thinking that is the issue but I can't seem to get around it. I have it logging on as me (I think...) and I have admin rights. I also installed VirtualBox from my account and so the info is under me in the Documents and Settings.
I must not be doing it right because I can run a batch file (as well as using the command line) to start up VirtualBox just fine but I have not been able to get a service to do that simple task yet.

Are you running it with admin privileges? That error looks like one I've seen before which usually indicated some kind of security issue because it could not access an object. Kevin W.

I have tried this and I get the same result that I have had using other options... the service starts and tries to run the VBoxHeadless.exe with all the proper parameters. Watching the TaskManager, I see the headless program start and then stop almost immediately. Upon checking the log for the service, it says that VBoxHeadless stopped with an exit code of -2147024809. I have looked this up and cannot find any useful information.
