If I had to guess, I'd guess that it actually WAS executing self.reg.stop(), but is getting an error during some OS operation, and the interpreter is misdiagnosing the results. What does self.reg.stop() do? Is it possible you're doing some operation that tries to cross a user boundary? Services run as LOCAL_SYSTEM, and there are some things you can't do to service processes. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
