Engine offline without log error

Hi, I will be appreciated if someone help me. IDS turn offline without write any event in message log, nor generated an af file after dump, nor any entry in event viewer. The alarmprogram script didn't execute and sysalarmprogram was comment in onconfig file. The only way to continue is to restart the services.When I turn it online it start without problems. The server is running only informix. I attached the onconfig file. SO: Win2000 server, service pack 4 IDS 9.21 RAM: 1Gb 2 Processors Where I can find something about what happened? Any help or guides will be more than appreciate.

1) it's windows 2) it's windows 3) it's windows... one of our windows 2000 servers with service pack 4 was rebooted last week automatically by our server team to apply yet another microsoft virus patch. we have SAP and oracle running on this server. Neither one came up automatically after the patch. We got oracle up, but SAP would not come up. We thought it was a DLL change related to the virus patch. Turned out our server team changed some login permissions for the admin accounts for SAP while they were implementing active directory some time ago. The server had not been booted since then... so the virus boot activated the active directory stuff, and hosed up the ability to start the app. Your database engine could be the problem, but maybe not. don't rule out microsoft "fixes".

Do you see Windows Event Viewer as you know IDS has service to write log file both on online.log and Windows event log.
