Oh, I also had a problem with event logging.  It's probably been fixed by 
now, but it caused me to make these changes:

There is an error in the MRTG code somewhere regarding logging to the 
Windows Event Log, which caused MRTG errors when I tried to run it. 
Changed my command line for testing to this:
perl c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg --logging=c:\mrtg\bin\log\log.txt 
c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg.cfg".
 (replaced logging=eventlog with logging=path) and it ran.  Also had to 
change the registry from that listed in the procedure to this: 
"AppParameters"="c:\\mrtg\\bin\\mrtg --logging= c:\\mrtg\\log\\log.txt 
c:\\mrtg-2.17.1\\bin\\mrtg.cfg"

See the section, HOW TO SETUP MRTG AS A WINDOWS SERVICE, in 
http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-nt-guide.en.html.  I've used it for 
years and it works great.  The "run as daemon" is confusing for windows, 
since you also have to create a service as described above.

Ah, you are running on Windows.  Hopefully someone else on this list
understands windows servers - I haven't managed a windows server this
millennium...

But I recall there were a couple of daemon tools used to run mrtg -
fireDaemon was popular about 8 years ago.  But I don't know much more 
about
it than a name..
