FMS non-admin start problems

I installed FMS 3.5 Development Server on WIndows Server 2008 as Administrator successfully and verified it is working. By default, the server runs as a process with local user priveleges. When changed the logon account to a network user id ( from Services->FMS->Properties->Logon ) it fails to start with the following error

1067: process terminated unexpectedly

There is nothing in the FMS log files to say what the problem is, but I am unable to start the process. Note that the windows user id has Admin  priveleges to read/write from the same folders. I can verify this by logging in as the windows user I created earlier and running the FMS process.

I searched on the web and didn't find any solutions. I hope someone here on this forum has an idea of what's wrong here...

Thanks for your help.

    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.
