Hi,

I have the following set up in my PC, running Windows 2000.

I have two applications : App1 and App2. I also have a
Service. The service starts App1 (by calling
CreateProcess), and interacts with App1 periodically. The
Service is installed as "Interactive". It runs in
LocalSystem Account. App1 and App2 share a couple of Dlls:
DLL1 & DLL2.

The Problem:
If I start App1 by starting the Service, App2 does not
start. But, if I just start App1 by double cliking from
Explorer, App2 is able to run.

Can you please tell me why this is happening? Also, please
tell me what I should do to make App1 & App2 run at the
same time, even when App1 was started by the Service.
