My guess is that something is amiss with your installation; either a PATHing issue, a registry key problem, or with the instance itself. Your instance should start via the service when it's set as indicated.

Try this: open a DOS window and type NET STOP OracleServiceDEMIST. See what messages (if any) you receive. Then type NET START OracleServiceDEMIST and likewise see what messages you receive. This ought to give you some indication of what the problem might be. Received on Wed Jul 10 2002 - 06:54:18 CDT
