I am trying to get the PO7 for Win95 installed on a stand-alone PC. 
For the most part, the installation went fine (although the web
pages don't necessarily match what I download from the web site.)  I
am running into two problems.



    
  
  1.   Whenever I start or stop the database, the dialup dialog pops
up. It is as if Oracle is trying to establish a PPP connection.  If
I press cancel, the dialog goes away but seems to arbitrarily
reappear agin later.  I really want to disable this feature as I
don't anticipate connecting to a remote database.  I have not done 
anything using SQL*Net - the only SIDs in the TNSNAMES.ORA file are 
the ones that came with the product.

  
  2.   I want to access the database via ODBC and a VB app.  However, 
when I try to establish an ODBC connection with the database stopped 
I get an ORA1034 error - "Oracle Not Available".  This does not 
occur with the database running.  Is there a way to autostart the 
database via ODBC?






Thanks in advance for your help!
