i re-unzipped BIND9.3.1.zip and overwrote all exe/dll 
files in the directory but no use as it was. in fact,
i examined the bin dir after each uninstallation and
found the files there were already cleared out except 
BINDinstall.exe. Also i found BIND only uses libeay32
in named\bin and bindevt.dll in system directory. i
also examined registry files of both computers and 
found no differences on BIND-related items. i guess
something's wrong with my system, for named.exe got
no chance to give its own error messages. Following
are all messages when starting BIND service:
--------- Popup 1:
 Caption: named.exe - Application error
 Message: The application failed to initialize 
  properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to 
  terminate the application.
--------- Popup 2:
 Caption: Microsoft Management Console
 Message: Error 1053:The service did not respond to 
  the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Mine is a Windows 2000 server SP4 (Simplified Chinese)
with patches up to May 2005 (MS05-027). The above
messages are the English equivalents, i believe. as
said last time, i'd give up for i have already got
BIND 9 running on another machine instead. but i'd
be glad to try any suggestions. Thank you.
