Answer 1

Hi,
Have you install Oracle XE as an Administrator or member of Administrators group?
Have you ever started the Oracle home page?
Do you have any other Oracle installation?
What kind of OS do you use? I can see Windows 2000.
Those two services OracleServiceXE and OracleXETNSListener are enough to run XE.
You could check by the Task Manager:
- OracleServiceXE should be about 50K
- OracleXETNSListener – 6K
Turn those services to Manual. Restart the computer and Start Oracle database.
You can check the LISTENER.ORA. Host should be your host name. Same into TNSNAMES.ORA. If the HOST = YourComputerName there are OK.
Then you should check for any firewall. For instance, Zone Alarm could prevent to access your database.
I hope that would help.
