The Windows Condor service will stay running as long as the 
condor_master.exe process is still running.  Is the condor_startd.exe 
processes running?  If the condor_startd.exe process is running, you 
should see the execute node (slots) via "condor_status".  Did something 
change, aka did this machine used to successfully appear with 
condor_status and one day it stopped, or has it never (to your 
knowledge) appeared?  If the latter, perhaps a firewall or configuration 
issue...
