Description

I was running the service using the Local System account Log On credentials. I changed the Log On credentials to specify my NT Login and password and now it works fine.
Looking back at the Continuum "Getting Started" Guide, it explicitly states: "By default, the service logs on as the Local System account. Be sure to change this to an account where you want the service to start upon login."

However, I had supposed this meant change it if you want the service to run in some location other than your local machine. In fact, I discovered that you will need to change it if you want your service to work correctly.

This document could be improved by stating: "Be sure to change this to an account where you want the service to start upon login. If you are hosting the service on your local machine you still need to specify your login credentials in order for your service to function properly."
