Because it can't find the correct path if the display name is spaced.

That sounds very strange. Are you sure you're operating it the right way and not just misconfiguring it? Paths with spaces have been supported for a long time in Windows....

Yeah I know it sounds wierd but heres a quote from the tech support when I had this problem:

QuoteIf your experiencing problems while trying to start the service, the exe file that you want to use as the service may need to be renamed to PvPGNEliteService.exe .

So I needed to rename it from PvPGN N Elited Service.exe to  PvPGNEliteService.exe, but I could'nt change it because it was uneditible from what I knew.

Oooooh. So it was the path to the EXE you had to change, not the display name. That makes a bit more sense. The display name is only used to display a friendly name to you as the user of the computer, so noone should ever have to change that.

How is the service name put in there from the start? Some setup application? Names with spaces should work, but you may have to surround them with quotes. Sounds like a bug in their program if it doesn't put them there....

When you start the installation application it stores your server service into the administrative tools for you to start and stop, from there you edit the exe files.

It's possible that those shortcuts are missing quotes - 'net start "PvPGN N Elite Service" '

Enter safe mode w/ networking.

Login as the true 'Administrator' account.

You should be able to edit anything from there.
