Please see my reply elsewhere in this thread.
Yes, I would go and read the documentation if I had not done that
already. I did it BEFORE installation. I was surprised about the
problem, since installation went smooth and went back and read it
again AFTER installation. Not to mention that I have installed Oracle
a couple of times in the past, but mostly in an UNIX environment.

By the way, the sample tutorial files are lying in my laptop along
with tons of white papers, manuals, tips and tricks etc. This is a
quite new laptop, almost fresh installed with MS Office as the only
additional software.
