The listener should be a service and should be set to autostart in Control Panel services.

If not you can manually start it in the Oracle bin directory with: lsnrctl start

But my suspicion is that the listener either isn't installed, isn't configured, or other. I would suggest you go to http://docs.oracle.com and read up on the installation and configuration.
