I'm in the process of installing Personal Oracle 7 for Windows 95, that I downloaded from www.oracle.com. My install went OK, except at the very end, I received the following error message:

   Error in initializing the Starter Database.    Please see the file C:\ORWIN95\RDMS72\TRACE\BUILD.LOG

The BUILD.LOG file is as follows:

Connected.

I do have all the componets of Personal Oracle installed and available for use. When I try to start th Data Base I get the following message:

   ORA-9242: Cannot Start Oracle 7 Instance

I did notice the 2nd error message in the BUILD.LOG

   "OSD-04106: Unable to allocate memory with VirtualAlloc."

I have 16MB of RAM. Do I have enough memory ?

Is there something I need to do with the *.ora files ?

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be ?

                                             Thanks,
