Openfire errors as a service

After installing openfire manually it works great with spark, everything is cool but as soon as I use the switch to set it as a service i get a screen full of errors and it kills the server, I have to stop the service and relaunch spark from the desktop icon then everything is fine

Any ideas? (windows 2003 server 32 bit)
