Did you set ORACLE SID environment?
To delete oracle service:
oradim80 -delete -sid <sid>

Leroy,
I once did these things:
- Start/Settings/Control Panel/Services: Find, if running Stop, Disable all Oracle Services
- Run Oracle Installer (if possible) and remove as many of the installed products as it will.
- Run RegEdt32: Delete key HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE and all it's subkeys.
- Start Explorer via Start/Settings/Taskbar/Start Menu Programs/Advanced Navigate to %YOUR WINNT HOME DIR%\Profiles\AllUsers\StartMenu\Programs\ and delete all Oracle program groups.
- Delete your ORACLE HOME directory tree.
My experience is: Really read the installation guide and the READMEs. And I never had to re-install NT because of Oracle . <sigh>
There is a way to delete the services from the registry but I forgot... Sorry. Maybe somebody else could fill in please?
Regards
Eike

that explains, how to reinstall Oracle products if you feel something has gone
wrong? I have installed Oracle 8 Enterprise Edition on Windows NT Workstation 4.0, along with Developer/2000 2.1 and Designer/2000 2.1.1, but after trying to set up the Designer repository, I was unable to shut down the database using svrmgr30, and now I can't connect to the database. I get the error ORA-01034 ORACLE Unavailable. It has gone from bad to worse, and I am afraid I have done something irreversible. I cannot log in to Server Manager as INTERNAL, SYS, or SYSTEM, and I get the ORA-01034 error in all my products, from Designer to Instance Manager to SQL*Plus. I want to clear this up ASAP so I can begin learning to use Designer to model a new system. I am willing to resintall if it does not mean reinstalling NT as well. Does anyone recognize these symptoms and what can be done about them? All I want is a clean, desktop developer installation that I can use to work with SQL, PL/SQL, Designer, and Developer. I don't need anything fancy in terms of networking or extras beyond the Object capability. How can I achieve this setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Leroy /*Your Own
