Service Application in WSS 3.0 doesn't save password

Question

i'm trying to set service application account in WSS 3.0 for default application pool which hosts portal site. But when i choose not to use default account and add another managed account, after the page refresh it shows me that this settings wasn't saved.

Still in IIS snap-in i see that application pool used credentials i put in CA.

Any information about this behaviour will be usefull.

Thanks.

Do you find errors in your ULS logs that say "Access denied" or "unexpected error"? If so, check if your farm account has write permission on %windir%\tasks. You could also run psconfig, which will set the permissions for that account.
