Project Application Service fails to start: Project Server 2007

I've installed Project Server 2007 on top of MS Server 2003 SP, IIS 6.0, .NET
framework 3.0. I sucessfully completed a "basic", however when the
configuration wizard finishes without error and attempts to load the PWA
access page; the page fails to load. I see that under "Central
Administration" my Project Application Service is stopped. Trying to start
the service results in the spinning circle, as PS 2007 tries to start the
service, but nothing happens.

I can manually get the service to move into "starting" by using the
following stsadm command:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype
"Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Administration.ProjectApplicationService,
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Administration, Version=12.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71E9BCE111E9429C" -servicename
ProjectApplicationService

The service never moves to "Started". I have rebooted the server and
conducted two reinstallations using a local service account on the server. I
have also confirmed that the "MachineKeys" folder (C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA) security properties
are set to allow my service account read/write access.

The last final detail is that this is an Army Gold Master server with
additional security settings. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

The problem ended up being permissions related. When a domain admin
attempted to start the service, it worked fine. The service account
apparantly had insufficient priviliges.
