The nxlog service will not start up - I get an error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. No log file written to the logging directory so cant troubleshoot any further - nothing in the event logs that helps with any answers. Anyone have any experience with running this on Windows 2000 Using the following in the config: <Extension _syslog> Module xm_syslog </Extension> <Input eventlog> Module im_mseventlog </Input> #define PROCESSORS <Processor p_transform> Module pm_transformer Exec $Hostname=hostname(); OutputFormat syslog_rfc5424 </Processor>

Check events prior to that 1053 as well to see if something else can be gleamed from the logs.
You can also attempt to run NXLog in foreground with nxlog.exe -f from the command line. This may give you some additional information.
Make sure that the user running the service has permissions to do so.

Edit: Wouldn't hurt to check your ROOT directive as well to make sure that it is configured properly.
