Hi all!

I have posted a message just a few hours ago, but the problem seems to be harder to solve than expected. I have searched the net already, but I couldn't find any useful answers, whereas I found MANY questions regarding the same issue.

I have installed Oracle8i Personal on my machine (Windows 2k Pro). The DB is to be used locally only, at least for now. When I try to log on with "sys"/"manager"/"" (without the "" of course), the error message "ORA 12560: TNS: Protocol Adapter Error" appears. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for helping a COMPLETE DB NEWBIE...

Karsten
