Another problem I had in getting this working => The win apps won't work in 386Enh mode if sql*net for Windows is installed. Be sure there are no *tcp*.dll (for tcpip) or *ipx*.dll, *spx*.dll (for netware) files in the Windows \bin directory. In 386Enh mode oracle loads these files instead of passing the calls through to SQL*VDM resulting in an ORA-03121. It took me forEVER to figure this out (after about 4 calls to Oracle support and 3 posts on CIS:Oracle forum - maybee 1 for the FAQ??).
