There are 3 separate fixes for the installer not running on a P4 machine:
Here is the full version of the fix you tried, perhaps the second part will fix your problem:

2.

1. Copy the content of the Installation to a temporary folder on the harddisk, rename ALL copies of file 'symcjit.dll'
2. Go to folder \install and edit file 'oraparam.ini' (attention: write protection) and change parameter JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS to JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m
3. Start the installation again

If not, you might want to consider getting a newer version of Oracle; if you want to use 8.1 you should at least be using 8.1.7. By the way, fix 1 is a patch to the 8.1 installer, and fix 3 is to use the version 9 installer.
