Did you set ORACLE_SID environment?

To delete oracle service:

    oradim80 -delete -sid <sid>

    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

        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 =

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,
