Re: Help needed with: ORA-03113

Check the permissions in the directory in which you are attempting to create the database files. Just to get you started, make sure that Everybody has full access. You can tidy the thing up afterwards if it works.

Also, make sure that the service you created with oradim is actually running, and that environment variables such as ORACLE_HOME are set correctly.
