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 ?
