RE: sanity check time...
Bill, all services should be starting automatically, but you can check the following: From the NT prompt, type NET START. You should see a list of what services are running. All Oracle services start with ORACLE. If things are not running, you can do the obvious - run lsnrctl to get the listener running. If you do not see and database services running, you need to determine what services have been created. You can go to the NT Services panel and start them. I hope you don't need to create a new database - I'm assuming that it is alredy installed. Good Luck!

RE: sanity check time...
Bill, Services should be there. Listener service is created, when Oracle is installed. And database service is created when database is created, using oradim, and has database name as part of the service name: OracleServicedatabase_name. Tell them to check if services are running, check listener, sqlnet, and tnsnames config files, check alert file (service could be running, but database is not open).
