Could you be a bit more precise in your postings? Which of the above errors is the one you're refering to with 'this error is permanent'?

And could you please recheck that what you wrote is what's actually happening? It might be my ignorance, but I've yet to come across OCR with regards to Oracle, could it be that it was CRS and that one you can safely ignore (except you plan to create a RAC Installation).

Certainly nothing to do with resource bottleneck. I've got 10g crawling on a fairly small XP Box (P3-1GHz 384MB). It takes its time to start, but for certain educational purposes more than sufficient.

Are you aware that there is a listener log and if configured a trace too, and that they can be found in %ORACLE_HOME%/network/log, %ORACLE_HOME%/network/trace ?

Maybe you find some clues in those files.
