With ORPort uncommented, Tor shuts down immediately

I'm and end-user, not a code-writer, allright?

I'm my own system administrator on my home-based wireless DSL network running Windows XP Pro SP2 on a PIII 1200 MHz 512 MB mem laptop remote from the primary desktop station; all firewall, popup blocker, and anti-virus software on this laptop is turned off; Tor works fine as client but when I uncomment ORPort in the Torrc and re-start Tor to attempt Server mode, all I get is a flash of the startup box and then it is gone, as in shut down. I am not running in Daemon mode, and my applications and processes lists do not show Tor running after this happens (they do track Tor in client mode). I uninstalled 0.1.1.8 and installed 0.1.1.9 tonight and get exactly the same behavior. I've looked for other similar reports but this seems to be an isolated complaint, so I guess the problem is on my end. I'd like to throw a little BW y'all's way - this sounds like a worthy project and according to my system I've got 11 MB/s to play with - but I'm just not technically savvy enough to pull this off alone.
