Answer 1

Try this, it may help...
1. Shut down the DB, and make sure it won't automatically restart.
2. Right click on my computer, go to manage.
3. in manage, expand the services 'menu' (on right window).
4. Press on services. That should bring up a list of all the services, running or
not. Scroll down till you find the Oracle services, Highlight them and press stop.
(You can also check the services from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services)
Run regedit (Start > Run > Enter "regedit", click "Ok"), find and check the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\ORACLE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Services
\EventLog
\Application
\Oracle.oracle
Also check in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
5. If that doesn't work, then try to find a different solution
Uninstall Oracle and then Re-install
