Morning Tim,

in which case I'd have a look in control panel | services and check that there is a lisetener and the database service which are both configured to automatic startup.

Then, check that both of them run as the local system user (the default) or if another username has been supplied. If a new username is supplied has that user recently changed his/her password ? If so, you'll need to have the services changed to reflect the user's new password.

I'm on Win2K here but :

listener service for ORCL92 running from OracleHome named 'OraHome92' is called 'OracleOraHome92TNSListener' and the database service is 'OracleServiceORCL92' - your's may differ. Go to properties for both of these, then click the logon tab. If logon is set to 'local system account' then there is a problem somewhere else. If it is set to 'this account' then I suspect the password has been changed :o)

HTH Cheers,
Norman.

Hi Norman,

I have received this information about it:

"There is no Oracle error on startup, and no alert that something is wrong. From the command line the database starts fine. It's when the computer reboots and the service starts that the database fails to start."

By the way its running on NT 4.0.
thanks,
