I meant P4 of course.
Here's the fix:

1. Copy the contents of the \install directory on your CD-ROM to a temporary directory

     on your hard disk.

   2. Search for all copies of the 'symcjit.dll' file both in and under the directory

      from Step 1, and rename them to 'symcjit.old'.

   3. Navigate to the directory you created in Step 1, and open the 'oraparam.ini' file for editing.

      Please note this file is write-protected, and the properties of the file must be

      changed to allow writing before editing.

   4. Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS parameter to

         JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms64m -mx128m

   5. Save the oraparam.ini file.

   6. Navigate to the win32 subdirectory, under the directory you usedin Step 1, and run the

      setup.exe program. Received on Thu Apr 03 2003 - 20:11:41 CEST
