Windows Service needs to restart to keep its functioning

I have created a windows service that sends email reminders every 30 seconds. 10 days before it was working fine but now it doesn't run until it is restarted manually from services.msc

Once it is restarted, the service then sends email.

The window service is written in C# and in Visual Studio 2005.

Let me know if any info needed.

Thanks for your inputs!

Many times for windows services' problems, looking at windows event's logs enables to target disfunction, but as said by Jon Skeet : Hard to give you more precise orientation without details.

Ok, ERR_RETRIEVING_DATA seems a bit tricky. Sounds like a I/O problems on hard drive (due to termination), but strange to see it works after a restart. It could be anything in the system.

What is the information you're trying to get ?
How do you try to get it ?

Does your problem appears after a reboot of the machine ?
Wouldn't it be because of your service's list start order ?

If "Your" service start before the resources that it needs, you would be unable to reach it (For example, starting before MSMQ while trying to push/get messages).
