how to services in windows xp. could you help..?
From control panel. I think under administrative tools.

I'm on mobile right now so I can't look it up for you.

If you still can't find it, Google should provide links on how to startup windows services.

The one you are looking for stars with Oracle and has the Sid, company, in it.
