Flash Media Server 4.5 Fails often when I log on service as an Administrator on Windows 2008 x64 R2

I have recently installed the Flash Media Server 4.5 on my Windows 2008 x64 R2

Whenever I try to restart the service as an Administrator it starts giving problems like making authenticated connection with Flash Media Encoder Live (I have installed the x64 authentication plugin that is with FMEL v3.2)

Please can anyone guide me why FMS 4.5 becomes unstable and buggy once I restart Apache and Flash Media Service server as an Administrator !!! I need to host files on Network Drives therefore I need Administrator access ... If adobe doesn't like Administrator name then whats the other workaround e.g creating usernames ??

Please Guide

    One of the workarounds that I have found is ... i.e try making all three FMS Windows Services (Flash Media Administration Server, Flash Media Server (FMS) and FMSHttpd) in the some domain controller account or atleast the same Administrator.

    After doing so first manually stop the Flash Media Administration Server. After the Administration Server Stops Now run the Flash Media Server (FMS) which should also automatically launch the FMSHttpd Service (Apache). Once both are started then try starting the Flash media Administration Server.

    To make sure that Flash Media Administration Service Always Starts LAST you can either use Manual Batch file in sequence of starting or can set up the option of 'Delayed Start' in Services Settings.
