Thanks Howard for taking a look and responding to my postings.

Since re-building my laptop is going to be a wicked pain, I think I'd like to try to eliminate everything else before I re-install.

I think I've managed to re-define the problem a little. I can start the listener through ControlPanel.Services and through LSNRCTL.EXE. Through ControlPanel.Services it will start and stay running indefinitely but if I try to query it's status through LSNRCTL it immediately crashes. If I try to start it through LSNRCTL.EXE it reports a successful start and then crashes.

I've managed to get tracing turned on for the listener. I've posted the trace file, log file, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, and tnsnames.ora at http://www.benday.com/oracleStuff

I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look.

Thanks,
