I don't know if this is considered API, but it seemed like the best place...

Got this code from somewhere and I'm wondering why it never finds a Service. I've changed this line to a number of different running programs, but it never see that they are running:

lcServiceName = "NetWaiting"

I'm sure it's just my lack of understanding in how it supposed to work. Thanks!
