I also had the simillar problem.

The real problem is with o/s win2000.I had several times this problem on many win2000+oracle systems.

There is also no use of removing and adding new service also.

Try this first

check or ensure it in control panel==>services==>oracleservice==>properties==>log on(property page)==>local system account==> It is Uncheked.==>apply(save).

Try this else

The only solution is you have to do a clean reinstallation of o/s and oracle on that.

Again it is not 100% guranteed soon you may have a problem ||rly.The best to install Oracle on NT.

Installing win2000 Patches

or installing oracle for win2000.

Look in to this links for the problems i had on win2000.

Try this out.

Go to SVRMGRL try to startup in normal or force it will work but once shutdown again startup the same problem will persist.
