Trying again for help.

If I stop Zope as a service from NT's Service Manager or from the Zope management interface it seems to kick and scream while restarting. In the application log I see repeated errors stating the service could not start. These repeat until the application log is full. Zope appears to be running, but I have not yet learned how long it is cycling to start.

The error series is essentially, "Starting Zope Service" , "Could not Start Zope Service" until the log is full. From there I'm not sure.

Is this a known issue or am I missing a switch setting for start-up?

This does not occur from reboot. Everything is as normal as I know normalcy.

Try start.bat in your zope directory to see what errors it produces. If you cant see them because the window closes too fast, call it from dos promt. HTH Tino Wildenhain
