Oradim.exe in task manager? Something is seriously wrong.

I think you are looking at wiping Oracle completely off the system. Starting with oradim -delete -sid <sid_name>, all Oracle files under the Oracle directory and under Program Files, followed by CAREFULLY cleaning out the registry (VERY VERY CAREFULLY).

Then reinstall.
