If you cannot change the user the service is running as for whatever reason, you can still set the service as interactive. Since Windows Vista the property you needed to set prior to make the service interactive is not exposed anymore. You can still set your service as interactive, but you have to hack your way through. There is a registry key for your service there:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\<YOUR SERVICE NAME>\Type
'Type' is a bitfield. You need to read the value of the key, do an 'OR &H100', and stick it back in registry.
