When you installed Designer/2000, one of the options was to install "support" files from Microsoft. If you selected this option, it replaced a number of files,which will *not* be deinstalled by deinstalling the Oracle products.

Since I assume you are running 1.2 or 1.1x, then you replaced the MS files with 16 bit versions! Most of these .dll's start with MFC. When going through the installation process, when you come to this step, you can hit HELP to see a listing of all the .dll's it will replace.
