JFrame not loading when Jar is launched through Windows Service

Question

I installed my program in a Jar file as a Windows Service using Apache Procrun.

When I run it using the command start "prunsrv.exe //TS//TestService" it runs perfectly. But when I start the service in Windows services program, it doesn't launch the JFrame.

Yet the application does start as I can see the log entries. But related to the JFrame section, there are no exceptions yet it doesn't launch. Why does it not launch?

Your service is not permitted to use the desktop, if it does not run as the current user (the owner of the desktop).
If so, the first call to Dialog.open() or other methods which paint on the desktop just hangs.
