Thank you! Thank you!

This may seem dead obvious to you, but I cut my teeth on Win95 PE and never had to do anything more than click on an icon or open scott/tiger in sqlplus to get Oracle running.

And, after weeks of wrestling with the special library compatibility issues with 8.1.7, Oracle started with scott/tiger the first time I tested it immediately after installation. Perhaps the installation leaves Oracle running??

Thanks again!
