Re: TNSLSNR crashes on Windows XP

Ben: why does your tnsnames request ports 15210 and 40000 when your listener is only running on port 1521??

I doubt that's the issue, but when you start poking around with weird ports, who knows?

If you don't want to rebuild your laptop, I understand. But could you maybe download vmware 3.2, do a clean install, and see what happens? That will leave your laptop pristine. But you'll need 6GB or so of free disk space (4GB at a pinch).
