Re: NT/Oracle Ent. Srv down (1034) following ActiveX VB app install

Michel,

48MB is only 16MB more RAM than NT4 requires to boot ! I would be very surprised if you can get Ora8 to run without adding RAM to your server.

After you reboot the server, go to the services panel inside control panel. You should see something like:

OracleServiceORCL started automatic

If not then the Oracle service cannot start even after a reboot.
