1. Check from start/setting/control panel/services to see if oracle is
running.
2.  If yes, open a dos command window and type:
sqlplus system/manager to see if it connects.
3. If it works, type from the sqlplus prompt:
select user from dual:
4. If it works, everything is ok.  You may create your own applications in
the database now.
