I get the following error when starting Oracle 10.2.0.1 on a Windows 2003 VM running in ESX 3.0.x.

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
Basically what seems to be happening is the windows Oracle services start fine, but the oracle instance doesn't start up. If you sqlplus to the instance you get the following errors:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
This only happens in Virtual machines, as we have several instances of Oracle 10.2.0.1 running on physical machines for the past 6 months without issue.
Has anyone come across this error before, or know the solution to it?
Thanks.
