After running sb_service.exe -install, I attempted to start the Service 
via Service Manager.  The error received was:  "Windows could not start 
the SpamBayes Service on Local Computer.  For more information, review 
the System Event Log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the 
service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1."

The Application Event Log contains three errors related to SpamBayes:

1:  The SpamBayes proxy service could not be started, as another 
SpamBayes server is already running on this machine

2:  The instance's SvcRun() method failed
  File "win32serviceutil.pyc", line 789, in SvcRun
  File "win32serviceutil.pyc", line 760, in ReportServiceStatus
pywintypes.error: (6, 'SetServiceStatus', 'The handle is invalid.')

3:  SetServiceStatus failed setting STOPPED status Error 6 - The handle 
is invalid.

Did starting the tray service prevent the SpamBayes service from 
running?  Can they both be running at the same time?

A reboot has temporarily seemed to address tis issue.  The service will 
start manually (I don't yet have it set to automatic), though training 
still fails.  0 messages are classified as spam post-training and the 
log shows the attached.  I thought I was following directions pretty 
well, but I have apparently missed something somewhere along the line.  
Any advice would be appreciated.
