Hi all,
I need to display a popup scrren similar to an MSN popup screen is my
application. I have to check some database values after certain time
interval and show some simple msg as a popup screen.

I tried writing a service, that will check the database and pops up a
form. But I am not able to show a form, from Windows Service.

Is there any other option by using which I can accomplish my task?
Can we show a form, from the Windows Service?
 
This popup will be similar to the one in MS Outlook express. After
receving a new mail, a popup scrren is shown. I think there should be
some kind of service which is doing this job.
 
A Windows service does not implement a UI. You'll need to use a Windows
Forms or Console Application to do this. All you need to do is design a form
to look however you want it and show it at the appropriate time.

It is not wise to have a windowss service with a UI component. What you
want to do is develop a separate application that will do the notifications
for you, using a notifyicon or a custom form
