Peter,
Since you are on a windows machine, have you looked at process explorer? I gives you a different view of the process that windows is running.

With test and production running on the same host, I would be very careful. I would shutdown the instance(s) if possible before attempting anything.

For this particular application we are running test and production instances on the same server (not my choice), so I have to proceed with a bit of caution. I installed 11.2.0.3 in a separate ORACLE_HOME. Now I am trying to apply Patch Bundle 18 before I upgrade the test instance. At this point I have not migrated any of the databases to the new version and we are still using the 11.1.0.7 listener.
