I have written a service that can start and stop normally using net
start and net stop but when I reboot the machine the serivce does not
restart. The code seems to bomb out on the following line.

m_pFileLogAppender = new FileLogAppender(severity, logFile);

The class FileLogAppender is a singleton, actually it inherites from a
template singleton base class. I am wondering if this is the problem,
the singleton base class implements a static instance variable and
maybe this has not been initialized yet. Could this be the problem, is
there a way that I can ensure that it has been initialized. By using a
pragma maybe.

Am I on the correct path at all.

Your help yould be greatly appreciated this is really hard to debug as
the machine is rebooting.

Windows, net start/stop, services, etc. are off-topic in this newsgroup
(see this FAQ:
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/how-to-post.html#faq-5.9), but
you may have an on-topic C++ language question here. Can you reduce the
failure to a *minimal* but *complete* compilable sample that you could
post here for us to inspect? (Compare these code posting tips:
