Hey. I had this for a long time and think I finally figured it out. You probably didn't ask for support for OEM when you created the database. That is what I did. You have to choose "Configure the Database with Enterprise Manager" and "Use Database Control for Database Management" for it to work. You probably just don't have the things in place on the database for the DB control to run.
Can't remember how I fixed it. There is a way to add it after the fact. You can always recreate your database from scratch if you just have a test instance.
