hi,
I installed oracle 12c on my windows 8 OS(laptop).
Issues I am facing
1. I am unable to start LISTENER service using netca.
2. While configuring database using "Database Configuration Assistance" my LISTENER is down.
3. Tried to start it using lsncrtl start:
then it gave me errors as:
Starting tnslsnr: please wait...
Unable to OpenSCManager: err=5
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
I tried configuring LISTENER with different port number(other than 1521) then also unable to login.
4. When I tried to login using SQLPLUS i got this:
Enter user-name: orcl
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
The command prompt is of "netca" to configure listener. Its not giving the message of service success or started.

Please help me to solve all this problem. I think this is because of some entries in .ora file. Don't know how to configure it right.
