Thanks for the help and tips, Dave! It would be nice to know for *certain* what the issue was.
I'm still not sure what was causing CF9 to go offline and then refuse to restart after attempting to run some of the .bat files. I'm not even sure that was the problem. With this last install of CF9, I didn't use my .car files for settings and that seems to have left CF9 in a more stable state. That was my first attempt to use a .car file...and probably my last based on current experience. Thanks, again!

Service accounts may often have trouble running things that you can run under your own account. This could be caused by permissions or different environment variables. If you want to run CF as something other than your own user account, you could create an account, log into Windows with that account, and see if it can run your program.
