So it sounds like it works from the command line?

Check the registry settings at 
HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Plone and make sure it all points 
to the Python contained in Plone.

Check as well you have the most recent build of Plone. There was a minor 
bug in z2.py that could affect this.

Not really no, the system either starts in which case it logs to stupid 
log etc or it doesn't. You can start Python services through 
PythonService.exe in debug mode but it rarely helps, and you would have 
to read the documentation to make sure its correct.
