English isn't Sybrand's first language, but his essential point is correct. You should install Oracle on a clean Windows system as a local administrator, and then problems such as you appear to have simply don't arise. I dare say that with a week or so of paid consultancy, they could all be worked around. But the simplest, fix-it-in-an-hour-or-so, approach is to uninstall the lot, and then to re-install following the advice in the installation guide for Windows *exactly*.
