I submit that the time you spend troubleshooting this
problem may be greater than the time you would spend
to certify the 2.6.1 Zope release.  I have found it
to be a very stable release. 

Why don't you try downloading the ZopeTestCase product
(v0.7 is latest I think) and running all the tests.
Maybe the output will help lead to the problem.
Also, I would make sure you run Zope in debug 
mode and look for error messages.

I don't use Windows XP and haven't used Zope 2.5.0 in
a very very long time.  However, I use Zope 2.6.1 on
Windows 2000 and Red Hat 9 without problems.

Another thing to try: download the latest CVS (1.1a)
of ZopeXMLMethods and see if it provides better
error reporting for you.  It should be pretty robust,
but even if you don't use it for production, it might
be another handy diagnosis tool.  We changed some
things to make it report errors better.

HTH,
