Hey, I'm new to this & I tried to solve the error by reading tonnes of forums but I couldn't solve the issue.
So each time I try to mount the database and login as an administrator to open SQLPLUS I get the following error:

C:\>sqlplus
SQL*PLUS release date.... Oracle. ALL rights reserved.
Enter username: system@oracle10 as sysdba
password:.....
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error

I did as some forums said: oracle_sid=oracle10 &
looked in the listener that the SID is written
I made sure that the oracle.exe is running from services
but still i continue to have this error.

So what can I do else? Thx

1) if you are logged onto the DB Server system, then SQL*net is NOT needed.
2) I surmise that DB Server is running some sort of Windows OS.

There are two OS services, one for database & one for listener, and BOTH need to be running.
open Command window
COPY lines below

SET
listener status
listener service

COPY lines above then PASTE into Command Window
COPY commands & results then PASTE all back here

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

1)typing "lsnrctl services" or "lsnrctl status" in cmd gives same code"

>So am using oracle 10.2 & am working from a VM
VM complicates proper configuration & installation.

when all else fails, Read The Fine manual

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/toc.htm

commands run as wrong OS user or OS user environment is not correctly configured
