My Apologies for my ineptitude on posting, this is all new to me...........but I'll get it....

I'm using Windows 2000 Version 5.0 with Service pack 4

I installed the free version of Oracle from there site 92010NT

The GUI is The DataBase Configuration Assistance. Step 2 ask me to select the database I want to configure. I highlight the only one listed (MyDataB) then click next. that is when I get the error.....TNS:protocol adapter error.

Could someone help this novice with this error. During the install process I created a DB I called MyDataB. It seemed to install without any errors. Then I tried using the GUI to configure it and I get

TNS:protocol adapter error

  Is it possible something did not get installed correctly or am I doing something wrong.
  thsnks for any help.

yes or yes; are the short answers

No OS or OS version mentioned.
No specific version of Oracle mentioned. No name of exactly which/what "GUI" is being used/abused.

My crystal ball is broken.

So it appears you expect us (TINU) to guess as possible solutions for you. I don't think so!
