Okay, then how about moving to a supported and certified OS. Be clear about it - Windows XP Pro is ONLY certified with the Oracle Net8 software, and then the 8.1.7.4 patch is required. Oracle 8i - Personal, Standard and Enterprise - are NOT certified. If it works, fine - if it doesn't, your valid choices are to either move to a supported version of Oracle (9i) or move to a supported OS (i.e., Win2K)

You've asked the same question multiple times. Have the answers significantly changed? If they haven't, then why keep beating a dead horse? Move to a supported and certified configuration.
