PSS Service does not start...

[fomur]

Hi,

Our PSS service that is installed on our production server does not start and when we try to initiate starting it we are having this error:

"Could not start the ChartFX 7.0 PSS Service service on Local Computer.

 Error 1053: The service did not respond  to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

 

I believe there should not be any installation problems regarding Chartfx since we are able to run our pages that contain ChartFx objects at this server. However, I don't know whether should we configure something special or not for getting this service running. Any help?

Check the event log. Any messages from PSS?
