Services Fail To Connect To SQLE On Startup

I have an application that runs as a windows service that uses an ODBC connection. I recently upgraded
the database from MSDE -> Sql Express.

Everything works fine (connectivity, etc) when I start my application manually. When I attempt to start as
a service I get connection timeouts. After a small window of time, I can rerun my service and things connect
just fine.

As a workaround I'm planning on having my service connect, fail, slep 5 seconds and then attempt a 2nd connection.
I really hate to do this and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Below is the error log I get after I reboot
my PC.

I'm attempting to connect as: "TestMachineNameLocalServerUserNameHERE" to the DB of "MyDatabase". (Names have been
changed so I don't catch flack from my company for posting specific details :))

Connection is done via ODBC via a system DSN to "localhost". I can sucessfully test connect here, but I can only
do this after the services have all started.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy
