Processor. Click Start. You can also restart your computer. The service starts automatically
every time the host reboots.

To remove the Event Processor as a service, stop it using Control Panel. Then, at
the command line, type:
controld -nt-remove
In addition, if the Event Processor is running as a service and you are using pop-up
notifications, you must ensure that the service can interact with the Desktop:

In Control Panel, double-click Services. In Windows 2000, click Start => Settings
=> Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services.
