SUMMARY

A service will receive a timeout error if it takes more than 80 seconds to load. A service timeout error can occur because of system problems that affect the startup of a particular service, a third-party service, or perhaps a group of services.

MORE INFORMATION

This is consistent in Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Server. This is a hard-coded value and at this time is not user configurable.
