Where is your database located? I have seen issues with running apps as
services that access resources over the network. As an example, I had an app
set to run as a service. I reboot the machine. Windows would load my app
before loading network drivers, and because of that network access would
fail. What is in the startup for the admin account? Look in the registry
also, not just the startup folder. It's possible there is a startup item
that your application is depending on that does not run until you login to
the machine.

You may need to put some debug code in your app to find out at which point
it is failing. It helps to know what line of code fails.
