Configuration problem with Apache 2.2

I've installed Apache 2.2 in the same way on two computers. One is
running Windows 2000 while the other is running on Windows XP. Apache
works fine on both computers after initial installation. I have
subsequently installed another program (IPP software from Insilicos
Life Sciences Software) which adds the following lines to the
httpd.conf file:

#
# Begin settings for the Insilicos Proteomics Pipeline
#
Alias /ipp-bin "C:\Inetpub\ipp-bin"
<Directory "C:\Inetpub\ipp-bin">
Options Indexes MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
ScriptInterpreterSource Registry

PassEnv WEBSERVER_ROOT
</Directory>

Alias /ISB "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/ISB"
Alias /isb "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/ISB"

<Directory "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot">
Options Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

PassEnv WEBSERVER_ROOT
</Directory>
#
# End settings for the Insilicos Proteomics Pipeline
#

Result:
Everything works fine on the Windows XP machine.
The Apache service can no longer be started on the Windows 2000
machine. If I comment out those lines, the problem goes away and I can
start the server again.

The operating system may have nothing to do with the problem, I just
don't know what else to focus on. If anyone can suggest why this might
be happening, I would greatly appreciate it. I've already requested
help from the developers of the IPP software, but I thought I'd take a
shot at asking here too.

Cheers,
Dustin

Have you checked Windows Application and System longs, and Apache's
error logs? They sometimes provide clues.

Test your configuration by starting Apache from a command line
with the -t option.

Just some thoughts: Never use backslashes in location, alias or
directory directives in httpd.conf. You may have to enable the
Loadmodule cgi_module line.
