Hi A.H. The service runs without the GUI, but when you start MrPostman again via icon/link, this (second) MrPostman instance will send a message to the service to open the GUI - under XP you probably see the difference, because when the service's GUI pops up, you will see it in the standard Java skin as opposed to the Windows skin, when no service is running. If you then change the ports, you will get a message that this requires you to restart MrPostman. The MrPostman service can only be restarted by a) rebooting your system or b) by uninstalling and reinstalling it (as the message in the install-service script also tells you). Module settings can be changed without having to restart MrPostman. Thus just reboot your system and the service should use the desired ports.
