Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Can not connect to Home Page

Hey folks. I have searched through the forum and seen similar issues to mine but the problem is not exact (enough) and none of their solutions have fixed my issue.

When I click on Get Started, an Internet Explorer 8 window opens and it just sits there on a blank screen connecting.

Does my listener.ora need an entry for 8080?
