Connection is refused

I install Oracle 10G XE Edition on my system fine (Windows XP Home Edition w/ SP1, etc etc).

However, when I go to the database homepage I get this connection, even though my port 8080 is open:

"The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8080"

I've done some reading on these boards and I have noticed that I am not the only one using this software to experience this flaw. I've read some solutions on this forum and elsewhere and they didn't resolve the problem (either that or I did a mistake in attempting to fix the problem).

Why does this happen and how can I fix this? I did disable my firewall (Sygate Pro 5.5) and this did not change anything. The port (8080) is open.
