title: Windows Service won't automatically start after reboot
body: <p>My automatically starting windows service fails to start only on reboot.  I have a windows service created in C# and installed via a Wix created installer. The service is set up to start automatically. The service is installed and run under the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.  When the service is started, it first makes an external web services call. </p>
  
  <p>In Windows 7 I can set the service to be  Automatic - Delayed start and the service will start on reboot no problem. However, this option is not available in Windows XP, and when set to Automatic start, the service fails due to </p>
  
  <p><code>A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the MyService service to connect.</code></p>
  
  <p>If I try to start manually after the login process, the service starts fine, it is only when the service tries to auto start on reboot that there is an issue, leading me to believe there are dependency services that I need to add to my service for it to start correctly.  </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me to the correct dependencies or an alternative approach?</p>
