The SQL Backup Agent service cannot start

I have installed all my Red-Gate tools (from my toolbelt) onto a new machine running Windows 7 (64 bit, ultimate) ( :P ) and SQL 2008. The SQL server is installed on the same machine. When installing the server components for SQB, I get the error message: The SQL Backup Agent Service cannot start, or is taking too long to start up.
I have tried this on another machine, also a clean install of Windows 7 and SQL 2008 and have the same thing. The only difference is the second machine is running 32 bit.
I have tried setting the privileg of RGB as administrator, and have also tried using the "sa" credentials during install. No joy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty. Can you please check the system event log to see what error message / error numbers are being reported by the service control manager when SQL Backup fails to start?
