MS Service enters stopped state when Administrator logs on.

Yes that is correct.

Server 2003 SP2 - MS 10.1.20

I start the service, log out, log back in (maybe 5 mins. later, maybe the next morning - I have done this about 5 times) and the Service Control Manager issues an event message "The Macro Scheduler Service service entered the stopped state." at the exact time of logging ON.

And of course it's not running.

The service will always stop when Macro Scheduler is started. Macro Scheduler itself takes over the scheduling. If Macro Scheduler is set to run on system startup, then the service will stop when you log on.

I have checked 'Keep Scheduling on Exit'.
I have logged off.

I logged on as another user - looked at Services - MS Scheduler is NOT started.

The macro/s have AutoLogon/When Started by service... checked - the user name/pwd is set up to admin.

I have read HELP for MS Service over and over.

I just want the MS to run schedules while the Admin is logged off. I have tried for days to get this going - what do I do?

Server 2003 SP2 - MS 10.1.20
