Pre-Post Service Executable’s die before they run
If your Pre-Service or Post-Service executable is dying before it has a chance to run, the problem is that the execution time is too low. By default, it is set to 3000ms (3 Seconds). Try setting it to something higher (you might have to keep increasing until you find the proper time).
FireDaemon Won’t Install
If you get errors while installing FireDaemon, it is because you do not have the required runtime installed.
In order for FireDaemon to work properly, you must only have the 32bit version of the runtime installed. The runtime should be automatically downloaded and installed from within the firedaemon installer. If the installer you are using doesn’t include the runtime, you can download the full installer from http://forums.firedaemon.com:8080
Example Errors:
Application Window is not visible when logged into remote desktop
When you log into a computer remotely, by default you are only seeing the desktop of the user that you logged in as. Interactive services (including Firedaemon ones) are only visible on the console session.
See the following article to access the console session:

Are administrative rights necessary to run FireDaemon?
The FireDaemon Pro/Trinity GUI’s must be run as an administrator to function correctly on Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. On Windows Vista, 2008 and 7 the GUI’s elevate correctly so the user should not need to be an administrator.
Services can be run as any user, however the privilege of that user will determine whether the service can interact with the desktop, access network resources and so forth. As a rule of thumb services should be run as Localsystem (that’s the default). If network access is required then generally run your service as an administrator. FireDaemon will automatically grant user accounts “Log on as Services” rights.
Monitor and Control Bandwidth Traffic with NetLimiter
NetLimiter is a great application that displays bandwidth usage on a computer or server. It’s really useful when you want to see how much bandwidth a specific process is using.
You can use NetLimiter to set download/upload transfer rate limits for applications or even single connection and monitor their internet traffic.
Along with this unique feature, Netlimiter offers comprehensive set of internet statistical tools. It includes real-time traffic measurement and long-term per-application internet traffic statistics
There are 3 versions, all can display the bandwidth usage of applications as well as history graphs but only the shareware/full versions can limit bandwidth of processes (the shareware versions costs, while the Freeware version is free).

Quick Shortcuts to Services Control Panel, Event Viewer and Task Manager
If you need to access the Services Control Panel, Event Viewer or Task Manager there’s a way to do it a lot faster.
Rather than going through the run box, start menu, or right clicking my computer you can do it entirely through the FireDaemon window!
Simply click the “File” menu and select your desired tool there.
What do you use for shortcuts?

How to Restart a Session in service
Services in FireDaemon Pro can be restarted in session.
This means that you can see your service on your desktop without switching to session 0.
This can be useful if you have an application that you want to see running for test purposes.
Restarting an application every few second/minutes
Restarting an application every few seconds/minutes can be done with the scheduling tab and the user defined interval setting.
This is especially useful if you have an application that you want restarting every few seconds/minutes.
