Not only that, but also for the first time (actually it was in your previous post), you indicate that you installed 32-bit Oracle on 64-bit Windows - a combination not to be found in the certification matrix on metalink.

In other words: putting 64bit Oracle on the Windows 2003-X64 would have been the right thing, too. Only that the first production version of 10g(AMDX64) for Windows will be 10.2 which isn't available as of this writing.
