Thanks for the reply.   The service starts ok.  No problems are reported
in the event viewer.  I do not think there is any
problem because when I start the instance manually it starts fine, and
I'm able to do anything.
 I think there must be a place where I can specify that I want the
*service* and *instance* to start when the machine is
booted "You can do that in Windows NT Instance Manager " but I do not
have that.  Also I tried to do it using
ORADIM.EXE which is the CLI for NT Instance Manager but no luck.

Thanks,
Marwan
