Dave,

Many thanks for the quick response, I will follow the KB article and
give it a try. I just wonder if there is any document or paper from
Microsoft talking about this limit? Exactly how many services can be
run under user accounts?

Thanks and regards,
William

There's a limit in Windows 2000/2003 as to how many services you can have

Setting a third parameter SharedSection value may help you.
