I am running Oracle 11g on Windows 7 Enterprise SP2 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HD. I can connect to Oracle using SQL Plus (see below),
C:>sqlplus sys/xxxxxxxxx@XE as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Wed Jul 9 18:52:26 2014
Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 – 64bit Production
… but when JDeveloper or another commercial application try to connect to I get the following error:
ORA-01033: Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress …
Any clue or help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
XMLDeveloper

Did you do anything like renaming datafiles or moving them around in the filesytem? The ORA-01122 indicates that the information in the controlfile does not match your environment.
So if you do a shutdown/restart of the database and still get the error and moved files around you should move/rename the files to their original places/names and try again.
If all this does not work, have a look at MOS 1041424.6 for details.
