Well, I had followed your suggestion and I had removed and recreated Oracle Service with oradim utility,
and now OracleServiceXXX has started correctly during server reboot only if listener service was stopped.

No messages in listener.log and oradim.log.

If listener service was not stopped then OracleServiceXXX crach during server reboot and
I still get this message in Event Viewer: "OracleServiceXXX service failed to start due to the following error: Waiting for a process to open the other end of the pipe"

:-(
