It doesn't help me either.  I'd start it from the command line
instead, in case the Windows services framework itself is throwing
away a useful error message or traceback.  I'd also look in Zope's
logs for clues.  Since it *does* work for "almost everyone", you have
to start from the assumption that there's something different about
your setup.  For example, someone else asked whether you upgraded from
a previous version of Zope, but are still trying to use an instance
home created by a previous version.  You have to answer questions like
that.
