I wish we could clear this nonsense up once and for all. Oracle 8i (that's EIGHT EYE) was released before the Pentium 4 processor, and hence the Pentium 4 bug. Oracle 9i was released after the Pentium 4 processor had been around for a long time, and hence THERE IS NO PENTIUM 4 BUG IN 9I.

There are zero problems installing 9i on a Windows machine that is *clean*.

And that's all the advice I can give you.

Sorry
