Check the obvious stuff first.

Set ORACLE_SID=<your sid> on the command line.

Is this in sqlnet.ora?

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) Is the listener up?

Right click on D:\Oracle, select Properties and look at the Security tab.

Who has access?

Default is 'Everyone'. A good reason to secure your server BTW.
