Check in windows services settings. Maybe you didn't reinstall service after changing start type?

This happens most often when a resource needed by your service is not available when Windows tries to start it. Please review what your service needs to operate and ensure that you setup a dependency for each resource required. For example, if your service uses the network, try making it dependent on the "Workstation" service (named "LanmanWorkstation").

If you are in the post-Vista world, you can also set the startup type to "Automatic Delayed" to have Windows delay the starting of your service by about a minute. This is usually enough time for all the important/core services to establish themselves.
