Lisa,

Have you checked the .log files in %ORACLE_HOME%/network/log ? From my experience, I get this error every time there's an Oracle config problem with the service, instead of a Windows config problem.

HTH! GL!

Good morning everyone,
Windows 2000 sp3, ver 8.1.7.2
I have NO IDEA what is going on here. I can't start any of the services associated with Oracle, not with my logon, not with local admin, not with a local account with appropriate permissions, nothing. Here's what I've tried:
Followed note on metalink stating to add local security policies: Act as part of operating system, increase quotas, log on as batch job, replace a process level token, and rebooted.

All logons are part of the administrator and the ORA_DBA group.

I am able to log in as each of these local accounts, the accounts are not locked or messed up. I have double-checked the password in the properties tab.

Local system account also fails with same error.

Here's the error I receive when I try to manually start the listener service:
"Could not start the OracleOraHome81TNSListener service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
I am clueless and so is the sysadmin. I am just thankful this is a test system instead of production... I know next to nothing about windows. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Lisa Koivu
