Sure you changed the computer name.

Go to Control Panel - System. Click the Network Identification tab. Guess what the first piece of information on the resulting screen says?

Oh, alright... it says "Full Computer Name". Then it says "Domain". On my machine, 'Full Computer Name' reads "w2k.aleph.com", whilst 'Domain' reads 'aleph.com'. Guess what that means.... that the domain name is part of the full computer name.

Therefore, by changing the domain, you've changed the computer name.

Which means that deleting the .q and services.ora file is exactly what you should do (they get re-created every time the agent re-starts if they're not there anyway, so it isn't going to hurt trying.
