Error Starting Servoy as NT Service

The server starts without error when we run Developer manually. However, when we reboot there is a problem with Servoy starting as an NT service.
The Servoy log shows a JDBC connection error. We are connecting to MySQL 5.1. MySQL is running on the same host as the Servoy server, and it is a “dependent” service so NT launching MySQL first. The MySQL JDBC driver we are using is mysql-connector-java-3.1.12.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help.

And if you launch the service once the server has completed booting? Does it work then (that would indicate mysql reporting too early it is up)
