Environment: 32 bit Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2

I have 18 small Oracle instances running on this server (don't ask). All of the OracleService<sid> services are set to Startup Type= Automatic. When the server was restarted after Microsoft patches last night, one of the instances did not restart even though the Services screen showed that its service was running. The alert log had no entries between the time that the server went down for reboot and the time that I restarted it manually.

Is there any way for me to determine what happened?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
