Re: Oracle8i on NT Oracle 8i on NT error "Oracle not available"

Thanks for the reply. The service starts ok. No problems are reported in the event viewer. I do not think there is any problem because when I start the instance manually it starts fine, and I'm able to do anything.
 I think there must be a place where I can specify that I want the *service* and *instance* to start when the machine is booted "You can do that in Windows NT Instance Manager " but I do not have that. Also I tried to do it using
ORADIM.EXE which is the CLI for NT Instance Manager but no luck.

Thanks,
Marwan
