oracle12542,TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use

Hi,

I have restored the image of my Win XP having Oracle 11g database onto a vm ware virtual disk on another PC.

When i try to start the listener i am getting the error TNS-12541: TNS:no listener,starting the listener is giving the error TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use

I am able to login to database by typing 'conn / as sysdba' but i need the listener to be up as i have to use an applicuation that requires the listener to be up.

I have deleted the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora and recreated then using netca

Used parameter files:

D:\app\Ahmed\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora

Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias

Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)

(HOST = 192.168.113.128)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = edwdev))

)

http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_12542_tns_address_already_in_use.htm

1) Locate the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Value Name: MaxUserPort Data Type: REG_DWORD Value: 65534

Valid Range: 5000-65534 (decimal) Default: 0x1388 (5000 decimal)

I do not find add value in my edit of registry

can someone help me solve this error
