Re: ODBC for Oracle doesn't work in WindowsME

I'm using Personal Oracle for Windows95, v7. Have been downloading a newer version 'personal for win98' all night, and hope this will work. I had DL'ed a 320 meg file in the recent past but after zip opens the main file, click the setup file, but it just sits there with an hourglass. So I'm trying this. I have a brand new version of WindowsME on the machine right now, and if this new file will not work either, then I will format and install Windows 2000 which is sitting here also. Will try anything, and time isn't a consideration - I have no life anyway! Just kidding...MikeG in Philly
