oracle11gwindows-8.1

not able to see oracle services in windows services after upgrading to win 8.1


I had oracle 11g database installed on my machine (OS win8). It was working fine. This week I upgraded my laptop from win 8 to 8.1. Now I am not able see oracle database services in windows services. Consequently I am not able to start oracle and connect to DB.

Tried couple of things like

>oradim -STARTUP -SID ORCL

DIM-00011: The specified service does not exist.
O/S-Error: (OS 1060) The specified service does not exist as an installed servic
e.

Is there any way to start the oracle ? or Do I need to re-install the database ?

Kindly let me know if you have some idea about this.

Thanks in advance for your help
