Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:06:35 GMT Xref: usenetserver.com comp.databases.oracle.server:448437 X-Received-Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:06:35 EDT (text.usenetserver.com) I have a Windows XP machine that never had Oracle on it before. I installed Oracle 11g and everything appeared to be going smoothly except towards the end, it could not start the DBConsole. After the install was complete, 'oracle.exe' was taking 100% of the CPU cycles. I searched the web but it appears no one knows what is going on. Some of the responses included: - Maybe insufficient hardware, not enough memory, etc. - If the machine had Oracle before, perhaps it has a lot of jobs to run. - The machine rebooted before the install completed. . . . on my machine, the MS loopback connector is installed and working, and the machine has plenty of resources. Appreciate any info. --g
