Now I do I have a couple of (minor) issues with it. 1. Delete HKLM\software\odbc. Doesn't seem advisable to me unless Oracle is the only thing that uses odbc on the machine. 2. Step 2 delete HKLM\Oracle Step 12 Delete oracle_base directories (found in HKLM\oracle) always read to the end before following step by steps.. Apart from the environment vars which I had forgotten it looks functionally the same as my suggestion though. -- Niall Litchfield Oracle DBA Audit Commission UK "Jonathan Gennick" wrote in message news:5ttnjs05ovgs5i6on6ne3nd0sgthobab0q@4ax.com... > The 8.1.5 release notes for NT had a procedure for creating > a "clean machine".
