When the service was created with the oradim utility, did you specify
pfile parameter?

for example:
oradim -new -sid TESTDB -intpwd oracle
-pfile=D:/oracle/ora92/database/initTESTDB.ora
oradim -edit -sid TESTDB -pfile=D:/oracle/ora92/database/initTESTDB.ora

startmode simply deals with restarting the service, not the database. If
the pfile parameter is set, then it can start the database.

Is the Oracle service set to autostart?

I have two servers one of them with NT and the other with Windows 2000,
and
in both I have the problem that when the service of Oracle startup, my
database is down, and I have to startup from server manager my databases.
I drop and recreate my instances and I have always this problem,
suggestion?
