Database not starting automatically (Win NT)

Hello,
i had to change the password of internal user of oracle database (8.0.5) on Win NT. i did the following

oradim80 -delete -sid <sid>
oradim80 -new -sid <sid> -intpwd <pwd> -pfile <pfile path>

it worked fine, but the service oraclestart<sid> vanished from control panel and the DB was not starting automatically when i reboot.

so after this, i did this

oradim80 -delete -sid <sid>
oradim80 -new -sid <sid> -intpwd <pwd> -startmode auto -pfile <pfile path>

now the service has come back and both oraclestart<sid> and oracleservice<sid> start automatically when the system reboots. but oracle does not start.
if i try to connect using sqlplus, i get ora-01034: oracle not available

but if i connect as svrmgr30 and try to start the DB, it works fine.

how can i make it start automatically again.

warm regards,
