I know you've fixed your problem - just a comment on style. Why not use a locally declared CHOOSECOLOR rather than one on the heap? That way, you don't need to remember to delete it.
Your (fixed) code would look like this:
CHOOSECOLOR stChooseColor = { 0 };
COLORREF crCustomColorArray[ 16 ] = { 0 };
stChooseColor.Flags = CC_RGBINIT;
stChooseColor.lStructSize = sizeof( CHOOSECOLOR );
stChooseColor.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;
stChooseColor.lpCustColors = crCustomColorArray;
if( FALSE != ChooseColor( &stChooseColor ))
{
ConfigMgr::Instance().SetBkColor( *stChooseColor.lpCustColors );
}
I know it's not a big change, but using the stack for variable storage when possible makes memory management so much easier 
One other thing - doesn't ChooseColor pass back the user's selected color in the rgbResult member, rather than in lpCustColors[0], as you've used? That's what the documentation[^] says, anyway.

Hey everybody!
I got a weird problem...
I wrote a service that in startup run CreateService to get handle to another service (which is a file system driver...).
For some weird reason the call halts for 2.5 minutes and continues successfully after that.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
THANKS!!!

What is the dwStartType of the service your creating? if its SERVICE_AUTO_START the documentation for the StartService Function[^] states:
A service cannot call StartService during initialization. The reason is that the SCM locks the service control database during initialization, so a call to StartService will block. After the service reports to the SCM that it has successfully started, it can call StartService.
As with ControlService, StartService will block for 30 seconds if any service is busy handling a control code. If the busy service still has not returned from its handler function when the timeout expires, StartService fails with ERROR_SERVICE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT. This is because the SCM processes only one service control notification at a time.
You stated that it hangs for 90 seconds which looks suspiciously like 3 blocked calls to StartService.
Best Wishes,
