Hi!
I have a serious problem with an oracle instance 7.3.4 on Windows NT 4. The instance is new and I have moved (imported) an existing database into it. Everything is well so far, but the database cannot be shutdown (normal or immediate). When trying it just hangs and nothing further happens. In order to start it up again i have to do "shutdown abort". Shutdown abort always works. If I have done "startup mount" a shutdown is possible. I have talked to Oracle support and tried their immediate advice, such as taking the DB off archivelog mode. No other users are logged on and starting up in restricted mode doesn't help. The Alert log shows no errors.

Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
