So how many links did you actually read before giving up?
Because you spent at most 17 MINUTES before deciding that you needed to reply.

I thought long and hard about how to solve this problem.
But after a while a decided to change Salem's searchstring ( " how to create a windows service ") to "how to create a windows service in c++" I got this:
http://clusty.com/search?input-form=clusty-simple&v%3Asources=webplus&query=how+to+create+a+windows+service+in+c%2B%2B

A lot of interesting search results.
Damn. That was hard

In my code it gives error like

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.     if (!StartService(
  2.             schService,  
  3.             0,          
  4.             NULL) )     
  5.     {
  6.             printf("Hello");
  7.         printf("\nStartService failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());
  8.         CloseServiceHandle(schService); 
  9.         CloseServiceHandle(schSCManager);
  10.         return; 
  11.     }

It gives error start service failed 1053

Post the code where you created the handle to the service (openservice() or createservice())

No way! I thought you made it yourself

Anyway: #define szSvcName TEXT("abc")
"abc" isn't really a service is it? So it can't be started.

These kind programs are quite difficult for a beginner. (your getch() gave you away)
I suggest you start of with some simpler programs...
