Perharps you should try to start the process inside a cmd command console
( use the same command line as indicate in the registry to start the process )

with -t it will check the config file and report if there's a trouble in it.

with -d ( check bacula manual for debug ) you could also increase the debug 
level.

With chance it will give you some clue for the crash problem.

After as I never seen ( for the moment i've not a Win8K server under control 
and hope to never cross the way of one :-) )
It could be whatever.

Perharps with the help of runas you can also try to start it under the service 
account.
