Initializing Winsock...
Couldn't open d:\radiusnt/clients to find client
Client Initialization failure
Which is what I then get when I try to restart Radius from the command
prompt after bombing out on trying to start the service... So it appears
that radius believes it must start with text mode regardless of what is
checked in admin... Registry setting wrong?

In the RadiusNT Admin, define both the accounting and auth logfiles
(as different files) and check all debug modes. Then try and restart
RadiusNT and see what the logfile contains. There should also be a
file named service.log in your Sytstem32 directory that might help to
pinpoint the problem as well.
