Redo-Log Archiv Problem

Hello,

I have a problem with redo-log-archiving (Oracle 8.0.5 under NT4):

The trace-file comes up with:

Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 4184
  Current log# 2 seq# 4184 mem# 0: I:\ORANT\DATABASE\LOGORC12.ORA

Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 4185 Checkpoint not complete

Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 4189 All online logs needed archiving

and so on.....
1,2 or 3 logs are archived without complaining but then appears the message:
'...cannot allocate new log sequence ...'

what am I doing wrong?
The command archive log list shows, that all seems to be fine, and also the arch-files appear in the correct directory. What's the problem in allocating every 2nd or 3rd sequence?

Many thanks in advance,
