We Tried to install Oracle8.1.6 on P4 with XP Proffessional.
Having installed Oracle 8.1.6 and having configured the database and Listeners when we are restarting the system we find oracle possing, Oracle not found error and Services shows starting continously.
The services are not starting automatically.
To start the services manually we wrote a batch file to invoke the services by net start method we were unsuccessful in resolving the problem.
Kindly expedite the solution as it is very urgent

first you have to create an oracle service.
u can use oradim to create the service with autostart option or control them with netstart.

How can I automatically start Oracle on NT/2000?
To start a database automatically when your server boots up, ensure the following registry setting is enabled: ORA_sid_AUTOSTART. 
One can also specify autostart when creating new database services. Verify if this was done by opening Control Panel -> Services (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services on Windows 2000) and check if it is set to AUTOMATIC. 

You may need to recreate the services mentioned above using the "oradim" (Instance Manager) utility. Start by opening a DOS command console window. Look at this example (assume a SID of TEST): 

         rem Delete the old service
         ORADIM -DELETE -SID test -SRVC servicename

         rem Create a new services with the STARTMODE AUTO property
         oradim -new -sid TEST -intpwd ORACLE -startmode AUTO -pfile C:orantadminTESTpfileinitTEST.ora
