OAS 4.0.8.0.2a - Cannot start ORB process

Pulling my hair out on this one. I am running NT 4.0 SP 6 (Build 1381),
Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 and OAS 4.0.8.0.2a. OAS resides in the oracle home directory.
Everytime I try to start the 'OracleStartOAS 4.0(Orahome81,site)' service it
says it failed unexpectedly. Trying to start the orb via dos owsctl start -orb
I get 'You must manager ORB from boot host. The command is not completed on host <hostname>' followed by 'ows-20214: The OAS processes can not be started, because the CORBA orb processes can not be started.'

   Any ideas would be much appreciated,
