Oracle Service Cannot Be Started

714579Nov 8 2010 — edited Nov 9 2010
In order to keep my laptop startup time minimum I was keeping the Oracle services at manual and stopped at all times. I used to only start them when I needed to access my local database or OWB repository since I was mostly connecting to company servers. Today, after 6 months or so I wanted to start the Oracle services again in order to be able to install ODI and try it out. When go to administrative tools -> Services and try to start the Database service I get this message

Could not start the OracleServiceORCL service on Local Computer. Error 299: only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.

And when I try to start OracleDBConsole I get the message

Could not start the OracleDBConsoleORCL service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or the control request in a timely fashion.

Things started to get frustrating, So I went to command prompt and typed
lsnrctl
start
and listener was up and running, then..
sqlplus /nolog
connect /as sysdba
and there was this error box (windows) appeared with the message:
The application or DLL C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\ORASPAWN.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
And at the same time in the command prompt box there was this message
ERROR: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Does anyone has an idea how I can my Oracle DB up and running again.

FYI:
Windows XP Pro (32bit) with SP3 and latest updates
Oracle 10gr2 with patch 10.2.0.4
OWB 10gr2 with patch 10.2.0.4
Java JRE 6 22th update
