Oracle 11 under Windows 2008 installation problems

Question

I cannot make Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 work under Windows 2008. The server's host name is SARABI. Anything of the following takes place on SARABI, no remote access is involved.
The procedure has been as follows...
- Windows 2008 was installed
- Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 was installed
- listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora were modified
- no other Oracle configuration file was touched
At this point it worked. I could connect with SQL Plus and with SQL Developer.
Next the server was rebooted. Without having changed anything at all, connecting was impossible. The message is "12514, TNS, listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". The three configuration files are given below.
Currently, all services are running accoording to Windows Control Panel. There are no entries in the eventlog. Executing "TNSPING SARABI" works fine. Executing "LSNRCTL status" shows "The listener does not support any services" (translated from German "Der Listener unterstützt keine Services"), the full output is given below.

Deleting the three configuration files and recreating them with "Net Manager" gives...
--- LISTENER.ora ---
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SARABI)(PORT = 1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = C:\Programme\Oracle\Admin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\log
--- SQLNET.ora ---
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
ADR_BASE = C:\Programme\Oracle\Admin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\log
--- TNSNAMES.ora ---
SARABI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SARABI)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
After rebooting the server, the same problems appear. Executing "sqlplus SYS/**** AS SYSDBA" gives "database not started". Then executing startup gives...
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name 'LISTENER_ORCL'
