I'm not sure that it's an Oracle problem.

I've had this configured on about 2 doz. nearly identical Windows 2000 Pro systems (9iAS: Basic Admin class). The inconsistency in 9iAS start-ups seems to indicate that Services may have an internal timeout while waiting for dependancies. The symptom seems to be "Time-out, stop waiting and attempt to start the service". If the timeout was Oracle's, I think I would have found a place to configure it.
