We are trying to install Oracle 7.1 for use in our MIS proigram, and can't get the server to start up! When the instance tries to start, I get an "Access Denied" error - but no indication of why.

What we have done:

1. Installed 7,1 Server for NT
2. Installed the WIN utilities, such as Network Manager
3. Used Network Manager to create the necessary .ora files - for instance TEST
4. Copied the .ora files to the /oracle/network directory - now Oracle sems to find them. (was this correct?)
5. Verified that an instance TEST existed, and was listed as an NT service
6. Restarted NT- now I get the error.

Can anyone shed some light one this? We don't have anyone on staff who has used Oracle before, and the available manuals have been very confusing.

Thanks!

Tim
