Not sure on the service install but found this for you:

Configuration and Setup Issues
I have downloaded and configured THINK but my old screen saver appears
Members must manually configure THINK as their screen saver after they have selected that mode within the Find-a-Drug control panel. Open the Control Panel from the Settings menu (for most versions of Windows) and click on the Display tool in the Control Panel. Click the Screen Saver tab and select THINK from the screen saver chooser. If you wish, you may adjust the delay before clicking the Apply button.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I run THINK in background?
Use the visibility controls available from the THINK icon in the System tray or permanently change the setting in the Find-a-Drug control panel (fadsetup.exe).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I change the priority of THINK?
The THINK computational thread runs at low priority. You can set the environmental variable THINK_PRIORITY to one of the following values. Value Priority
IDLE:IDLE 1
IDLE:LOWEST 2
IDLE:BELOW_NORMAL 3
IDLE:NORMAL 4
IDLE:ABOVE_NORMAL 5
IDLE:HIGHEST 6


LOW:IDLE 6
LOW:LOWEST 7
LOW:BELOW_NORMAL 8
LOW:NORMAL 9
LOW:ABOVE_NORMAL 10
LOW:HIGHEST 11


BELOW_NORMAL:IDLE 11
BELOW_NORMAL:LOWEST 12
BELOW_NORMAL:BELOW_NORMAL 13
BELOW_NORMAL:NORMAL 14
BELOW_NORMAL:ABOVE_NORMAL 15
BELOW_NORMAL:HIGHEST 16


NORMAL:IDLE 16
NORMAL:LOWEST 17
NORMAL:BELOW_NORMAL 18
NORMAL:NORMAL 19
NORMAL:ABOVE_NORMAL 20
NORMAL:HIGHEST 21

Lower priority processes yield to higher priority processes which have more time. The names are derived from the Microsoft windows process class and process priorities and the numbers used directly by the Linux setpriority system routine.

Members can edit think.env using a text editor such as notepad (not word) to set an environment variable by inserting a line such as
THINK_PRIORITY=IDLE:NORMAL

You can hide the tray icon, but you still have to login to launch. I don't know of a service solution.

These should answer a great deal of your questions.

There's a guide somewhere to run it as a scheduled task. Works like a charm!
