Re: Why OracleServiceSID cannot be started in NT after installation with the version 7.3.4?

You say you tried other alternative. Does this mean you ran the oradim73 utility? If you run it in a dos box like this: >oradim73 -? you will see a list of options available to you. In 8.0 and I think in 7.3 there are two services for each instance. One is the OracleServiceSID and the other is the OracleStartServiceSID. You can manipulate both of these using oradim73. Also, the errors you get are sometimes so general as to be not much help. But other times they are very useful. Try to write down the exact error message, then look it up.
