How to speed up loading of specific services?

Hi,

I have MSSQL installed on several pc's. I run a particular application which
talks to the MSSQL service, however, what ive found is the MSSQL service on
some PC's loads after my application, so my application produces all sorts of
errors and i have to reboot.

Is there a way in XP to speed up the loading of a service.
The closest artical ive found (Q193888) is how to delay starting of a
service, but that means i need to change lots of services.

Many Thanks

Click to expand...

If your application is also a service, or has a component which is a service
or.. .ah you get the idea... make that service dependant on the MSSQL
services you require.

If it's an application, and you 'own' the code, then create a check on
startup for whether or not MSSQL is loaded and running. If you don't own the
code and can't change this yourself, contact who ever did write the code,
and tell them to fix their busted-ass software as there is no excuse for
commercial software to be that silly.
