Oracle 10gR1 on Win Xp SP1

Hello,
after I installed Oracle RDBMS I run DBCA to create database-General purpose....
After successfully created database I found out that in Services I could not start my Listener service so I get this pop-up window:
"Could not start OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener service on Local computer.
Error 3: The system could not find the path specified."

My firewall(Zone Alarm) is turned off all the time and in User variable named Path first value is C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\bin; , same as the first value in System variable PATH.

Please for You advice. :)

what happens when you start it from the command line

This is XP Pro, right?

please help me with some advice

Check that ORACLE_HOME path specification in your listener.ora is correct. Something like in this example:

Code:

---

....
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = O101)
      (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1)
      (SID_NAME = O101)
    )
....

---

Better yet, post your listener.ora and sqlnet.ora.

listener.ora

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MASHINA)(PORT = 1521))
)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
)
)

TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = ADMIN



& sqlnet.ora


SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)


& tnsnames doesn't exists in my C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\NETWORK\ADMIN folder where sqlnet & listener are

2 all who were trying to help me & giving they're free time 4 my problems BIG thanks.

LISTENER service somehow was pointing to C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\BIN\TNSLSNR.EXE & should have to
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db1\BIN\TNSLSNR.EXE

so I created new folder & named it db_1 where I paste all folders from db1 because db1 folder just like path to exec. in listener service properties could not be changed.....

after that I restarted PC and my listener was started, >lsnrctl status gave healty report & problem is solved!

cheers!
