Warm standby Service doesn't startup

Hello everybody,

am new to postgre, and I hope I finde som help in this mailing list.
I have created a warm standby successfully, everything work fine also the applying of the archive from primary, my problem is that the Service under windows 2008r2 doesn't start if the standby is running (I get a start service timeout).
If I use the pg_ctl start -D D:\<my data> it will succeed however the windows service wont start.
Using the net start to the start the service will hang and the log file keeps on writing;

2011-09-06 13:52:57 CEST FATAL: the database system is starting up

Is it normal that the Warm Standby doesn't let the service to start under windows?
Am not sure to go live with this standby as I cannot start the service.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Adel
