Sounds like the Pentium 4 problem.
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 used in Step 1, and run the setup.exe program.
