Are you running Plone or just straight Zope? I have both, and here is what 
I would do, in case it is helpful. If you running straight Zope I'm not 
sure the approach.

-Open the command prompt and go to the bin directory of your Plone 
instance. I.E: C:\Plone 2\Data\bin
-type in "runzope"
-this will try to start Zope but will not close when done. You can then see 
any errors that you are getting and try to resolve them.

Hope this help,
Eric
