• 8.0.5 has been desupported more than a year ago
• Oracle didn't certify *any* of their products for WinMe
• You need to download either Oracle 9i for NT/2000/Win XP Pro (Home is not supported) or Oracle 8i for the same platforms You will be able to choose between the Enterprise and the Personal Edition. For differences between these versions http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/9idb_rel2_prod_fam.pdf
