Service wouldnt start in 8i

Hi All
  OS - XP
  Oracle - 8i (one of our clients has 8i and doents want to change)
  I created a simple db throught hte DB config assistant. and was able to 
login. But once the machine is restarted when I try to login it says ORACLE not 
available. wen I checj the service through control panel - the particular srv 
is keeps on saying startng...tnslsner is started
  I tried creating a new service thru oradim and starting it - it says errors 
in processign parameters...went into sql plus and did startup pfile...open 
recover...it says db mounted etc,,,but the service doenst start at all?
  Any suggestion would be welcome - Is 8i and xp angry with each other?
