It saying some times below mentioned 1 error or 2 error

1>Windows could not start OracleXETNSListner service on Local Computer.

Error 1067:The process terminated unexpectedly.

OR

2>The OracleXNTNSListener service on Local Computer startred and then stopped.Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.

Answer 1

After some trials the listener got started.

What I did is for this, I have edited the listener.ora file.

In this line intialy HOST = hostname was there, I changed that to localhost ip i.e 127.0.0.1

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))

Answer 2

I know its a very old thread but, changing 127.0.0.1 to localhost in both listener.ora and tnsnames.ora helped me.
