I think Oracle8 releases 8.0.4.x and earlier are not compatible with winsock2 on Win 95/98. Oracle 8.0.5 is supposed to be compatible, though.
This little glitch killed our app completely on win98 where we couldn't seem to uninstall winsock2. According to oracle, our options were
- roll back to Oracle 7.3.4
- Use spx
- Don't use Win98
You may want to check and see if 8.0.5 is available by now.
good luck,
