I have several versions of Zope and Python + win32all installed and has 
never had any problems.

Are you starting zope via your own script or via z2.py ??

I have a "zope243.bat" on my desktop for starting Zope:

C:\zope\zope243\bin\python.exe C:\zope\zope243\z2.py -D -P 8000

Then I am shure that it gets started with the correct Python version and 
libraries. And I can easily run it in debug mode. Which is a bit harder 
than starting it as a service. Well usually I install it as a sevice and 
then disable it. That way I can easily switch between development and 
production.

And if I want to run more than one server at a time i have another bat 
file ie:

"zope250.bat"

C:\zope\zope25\bin\python.exe C:\zope\zope25\z2.py -D -P 8001

So that version runs on another port.

All pretty painless.
