I don't know much about windows, but I do seem to recall there is an oracle home selector where you can tell OUI which home to look at. This is probably more accurate, found with a quick google: http://dbaspot.com/forums/oracle-server/333986-oracle-home-selector-not-available-10-2-a.html and http://stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/em.101/b12140/3_oui_oracle_homes.htm
The EM stuff is described in detail in the advanced configuration manual, but that is beyond me. Perhaps if you describe your installation, configuration and problems of EM in more detail we can help more. There's also a specific forum on forums.oracle.com for it.
I have the idea it is pretty normal (or perhaps an easy mistake) to have multiple oracle homes on a windows box, but since my work box got upgraded I'm back to just xe and all windows details have fled my brain.
Here's a little introduction to this group: http://dbaoracle.net/readme-cdos.htm
