Since you are not specifying the version of Windows CE you are using I will answer to the version I am familiar with - Windows CE 6.

In Windows CE 6 you need to use the UIProxy to display a window in the driver code. Since a service is very similar to a driver I guess that the same method needs to be applied. (I have not tried this though).

Read Bruce Eitman's blog about the UI Proxy to see how to do it: UI Proxy
