I have a standalone NT 4.0 system that has Oracle 7.3.3 (or 7.3.4) installed.

I used this system repeatedly for SQL, Forms, and Reports development
up until several months ago. I repeat, it WORKED PERFECTLY. At boot it
started an instance called FSI, and EVERYTHING worked.

In the last several months, since I stopped using it - No software has been
installed. None has been deleted.

Today I booted back into NT and a couple services that AS I RECALL used
to start automatically DID NOT START...

OracleServiceFSI Started Automatic
OracleStartFSI Automatic
OracleTNSListener Automatic

Unfortunately, I'm so OUT OF PRACTICE at getting and keeping one of these

When I attempt to start the OracleTNSListener I get the following:
Error 2140: An internal Windows NT error occurred.

When I attempt to start the OracleStartFSI service I get:
Error 0002: The system cannot find the file specified.

Of course, any attempt at running SQL or Server Manager all get
12254 or 12203 errors.....

When I try to run lsnrctl manually I get the following
LSNRCTL for 32-bit Windows: Version 2.3.3.0.0 - Production on 04-NOV-98 19:58

Message 850 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=NL
LSNRCTL>

It appears I have no messages files... But, as I recall I've never had any
message files............

When I run Oradim73 the FSI instance shows up. But it looks like:
FSI
Services Started Automatic
Instance Stopped Automatic

I can hit edit, put in a password, but then nothing happens...

I'm sure I'm forgetting something important, but can somebody out there walk
me through this thing so I can get it up and running again...

If there's additional information needed, tell me what it is, and HOW TO GET IT,
and I'll give it another try.... Since I'm not working for a customer any more,
I don't have access to the 800 number to sit on the phone with Oracle for 2 or 3
hours while they try to figure out whats going on THIS TIME........ So, I
desperately need help to get this POS working again......

Hi,

It seems you moved or deleted something in ORACLE_HOME. Try
to reinstall Oracle software.

Possibly all you have lost is the C:\ORANT\BIN from your system path. Check
it first.

Ever heard of bit decay

Quote:>Ever heard of bit decay

I decided you were right, and the necessary bits had decayed just a little too
much!!!!!!!!

Actually, I tried a few simple things, and it just sat there like the feces it
is...

So, I figured I'd re-install Oracle. Then I figured if I was going to go
through the pain of installing this, I might as well get it over with and just
install 8.0... So I did.

Problem mostly solved...

BUT - how do I get rid of services that I'm not using any more? Like now I have
2 TNS listeners, one from 8 and one from 7... How do I get rid of the old one?
Same for the old startSID services and such?
