Usually the hosts file is found in this directory on Windows machines:

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc

The hosts file should already contain an entry for localhost, so I doubt that's the issue. Have you set the Oracle-related services to start automatically? My guess is you haven't; if you have you then need to go to the command prompt and try to start these processes manually, noting any errors Oracle or Windows reports.
