Installing an Oracle database is a *bad* idea, (as the domain controller is constantly polling with connected systems), but that doesn't need necessarily to be the reason for the ora-1034. Oracle needs to grab a piece of virtual memory known within Oracle as System Global Area. Without further info I can only assume a) you have set the init<sid>.ora parameters too high (above all shared_pool_size and db_block_buffers and java_pool_size) b) your system has insufficient RAM and/or incorrect pagefile settings.

You need to provide more detail if you want the group to help you out.
