[Quoted] If you know enough of Windows not to be too dangerous in the registry here's what I'd do.

1. Use the Oracle installer to remove everything.
2. Go into the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and clean everything out
3. Go to c:\program files\oracle and clean everything out
4. Go to c:\oracle and clean everything out
5. Reboot
