Page 36 Oracle8i Administrator’s Guide for Windows NT: "By default, services run under the SYSTEM account." From the above, it seems that running Oracle using the SYSTEM account works fine.

Page 41 Oracle8i Administrator’s Guide for Windows NT: "Automatic Startup Set the registry parameter ORA_SID_AUTOSTART to TRUE (the default) using an Oracle tool such as ORADIM. 1. Enter the following with parameters at the MS-DOS command prompt: C:\> ORADIM PARAMETERS
2. To start the listener automatically, set the service startup type to automatic.

Automatic Shutdown
1. Set the registry parameters ORA_SHUTDOWN and ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN to stop the relevant OracleServiceSID and shut down. 2. Set the registry parameter ORA_SID_SHUTDOWNTYPE to control the shutdown mode (the default is I, or Immediate)."

From the above, make certain that the registry values are correct.

Page 201 Oracle8i Administrator’s Guide for Windows NT: "If You Want to Start a database with the default parameter file, then enter
SQL> STARTUP
This command uses the default INIT.ORA file located in the ORACLE_BASE \ADMIN\DB_NAME\PFILE directory."

From the above, make certain that the init.ora is located in the expected location.
