check under what account it is set up to start.

Or at least do what any logical administrator would normally do and upgrade this machine to an OS that is still supported by Microsoft...

LocalSystem, but does not work. I've tried with my account, domain administrator, no way.

Stupid answer. Of course, if i was able to, i will. Mabye if i dont, thats because there are reasons.. I'm working in a worldwide business, we have group policies.

anything in the system log that would help ?

Maybe you can look in the registry to see if local_system has the right to read zabbix key. Also what about security settings on the program files/zabbix folder ?

In anycase, i wonder why your group has not migrated yet their server to NT4.

Nope, just "The service Zabbix didnt start due to : access denied" ... well, that helps me ..

I've found the problem : i guess i created the directory c:\win32 from my pc, using a browser, \\server\c$\ then File > New > Directory, etc

I just tried to delete that directory, then remote control the server, in order to create it directly. Then installing AND starting the service worked !

I dont really understand, because the user logued on the server had full permissions on that directory. Now, it has .. full permissions too !

In anycase, i wonder why your group has not migrated yet their server to NT4.

Because it's a very big architecture. Of course, our datacenters have WS 2003, and are working on a 2008 migration. But there is no real need to pay new licences for a 2003 Server on every site.. that would be very expensive.. Of course, i now there are lot of adventages to get 2003 Server, but we also have to deal with datacenters : they manage money, they decide..

Thank you for your help, thats fixed.
