Add some logging to your service to see how far the startup process works, and where it stops.
In case of exceptions thrown during startup, you might find more information in EventViewer.

What code you have write in your service start method. I think that code is going to execute in long running process, that's why you got this error. also try to add some exception logging in your start and stop method, so it will log actual exception if any.

Read the documentation for how to install a service, check the registry for your service and make sure that the entries are correct. Stop saying "not working" as that means nothing to anyone but you.
