There are no kernel parameters in Windows. Were you working in *NIX you would have known what they were.

Most likely the problem is that the Windows services didn't start. Start
Settings
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Services

Does the OracleService show as started?
If not start it ... if so stop it and restart it Try again

If that doesn't work.

Start
Run
Cmd
NET STOP OracleService<sid_name_from_control_panel_service> NET START OracleService<sid_name_from_control_panel_service>

Carefully record any error messages seen in their totality.
