Please take a look at

It has this to say about your error:

-=-=-=-
An ORA-9368 error typically means you don't have enough memory.

The Personal Oracle7 database requires your PC to have 16Mb of physical RAM in it (virtual memory doesn't count). If you try to run Personal Oracle7 on a PC with less memory, you might get an ORA-9368 error. This isn't the only cause of an ORA-9368, but it's the most common one. -=-=-=-
