Use runzope.bat in a dos box instead of running as a service.
Look in the error_log object through the ZMI.
Look in Control_Panel/Products and see if ZOracleDA/DCOracle2 is ther 
eand alive and well...

Yes, that would b0rk it. ZOracleDA works fine with Python 2.3, you'll 
just need to compile it yourself (-> MS Visual C++ 6.0)
