Oracle Service Problem

[sunnypalsingh]

I HAVE LOADED ORACLE 8i ON WINDOWS XP. IT HAD LOADED SUCCESSFULLY AND
I HAD WORKED ON IT. BUT ON NEXT REBOOT WINDOWS IS NOT ABLE TO START
THE SERVICE CALLED OracleServiceORCL. WHEN I TRY TO START IT AGAIN IT
ENDS WITH AN ERROR:-

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

I HAD SEARCHED FOR THIS ERROR AND MICROSOFT RECOMMENDED LOADING OF
MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 1.1 SERVICE PACK 1. RUNNING THIS SERVICE PACK
ALSO DIDN'T HELP.

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
