Right, so here's the command you want to run from a command prompt with admin privileges, assuming your system drive is C: and the driver installer did in fact copy the files in place :
Code:
sc create NIHardwareService binPath= "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Hardware\NIHardwareService.exe" start= auto
Then refresh/reopen the service manager and you'll see it. Since the start mode is "auto", it won't be running, but you can start it from there.
If you've installed the drivers a few times that folder should exist along with its content - this .exe and a "Devices" folder with a few .ndd files in it.
Now assuming the service starts up, check that it does run instead of dying right away. You can see it from the service manager and/or from the task manager in the processes tab.
If you can't find this anywhere on your hard drive, I'd suggest unplugging from the network, turning off whatever malware/virus protection you have running and redoing the uninstall/reinstall procedure *WITH ADMIN RIGHTS*
If you want to undo this service thing, just run
Code:
sc delete NIHardwareService
