Re: Oracle 9i Internet: Unable to run pre-configured database

Uninstal Oracle.
Start Regedit. Click on HKEY-CURRENT-USER. Search for Oracle e.g. HKEY-CURRENT-USER -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE ... Delete the entire Oracle key entry.
Do the same for HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE etc.
* You can leave the entries in CLASSES * * Do not delete the ODBC entries you may find with Oracle * Delete the Software directories Oracle9i Installer created. Reinstall.
