I had the same problem.  Check these "clues".

1.) Check the contents of the oradim7x.log file.  There will probably be
an error in it.
2.) In the registry, there are 2 places for Oracle DB entries
   a.) LocalMachine/Sofware/Oracle
   b.) LocalMachine/CurrentControlSet
    
  Check to see if your registry entry for dba_authorization is set to
'bypass'.  We needed to set this manually for 7.2, but 7.3 should set
it.

  Also in the registry part b.) the start modes for the services are
listed numerically.  Check these out.

  Also in registry part a.) the start mode for the services are listed
as booleans.  See if they read true.

Good Luck.
