Can you see the service listed through the control panel?

It would be helpful if you posted your zabbix_agentd.conf file from that machine.

Have you downloaded the Zabbix reference manual? I would suggest doing so if you haven't.

The sequence for the agent install is to create zabbix_agentd.conf and place in the root of C:

The contents of this file should minimally be this (Case sensitive!)

Server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <-- IP of Zabbix server
LogFile=c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.log

Next, create the C:\zabbix directory and place your executable files in it. Pop a DOS prompt for that directory and type in zabbix_agentd -i and after that completes type in zabbix_agentd -s
