I think the 'Shared Memory Realm' is the SGA. If it doesn't exist, the
service for that SID did not start. Look at the log file in
%ORACLE_HOME%\database for any error messages associated with starting
the service.
You may need to look at registry settings. Consult metalink, google,
and the NT docs for proper registry settings (even the ones the
installer doesn't set).
