11g Express Edition Release 2 (11.2) | Installation Issues

Question

I am trying to install 11g Express Edition Release 2 on a Windows XP (sp3) system that meets the system requirements documented in Oracle® Database Express Edition
My installation was done as follows;
accepted default settings
setting the password for SYS and SYSTEM database accounts
no errors observed during install
reboot
After the install I verified oracleservicexe service running and had the following issues:
When I launch "Get Started with Oracle Database 11g Express Edition", Chrome browser opens "127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950" and reports an error "Google Chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8080"
When I try to connect using SQL Plus, "c:\>sqlplus system, enter password used during install, I get the ORA-01089: Immediate shutdown in progress..." error.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
