Hi
I'm using Pentium IV 3.0 GHz (HT enabled) with Windows XP (SP2) as my home pc. I was able to install Oracle 8.1.5 Enterprise Edition for Windows NT in this machine (perhaps, successfully) . Immediately upon installing, I was able to login and create a user, and things like that.

But after i shutdown and restart the OS, the OracleStartServiceId service is shown as "Starting" in the windows services utility(start->settings->control panel->administrative tools->services) and the service would not just start. All other oracle services are able to get started and running.

I also installed on windows 2000, same result as mentioned above.

Now, please help me with the following :

1. Is it problem of installing of oracle database meant for windows nt but installed on windows xp 2. Is it Pentium-IV related problem.
2. Is it Pentium-IV HT related prob. (disabling HT in the bios solves the prob?)

Appreciate greatly for the HELP to overcome this installation problem.

TIA
Best regards
