Hello,
This is quite a stupid question but its said that the most stupid question is the one thats not asked. Anyways,I am a student and my interest in Oracle prompted me to load a free Oracle 8.0 version on Windows 2000.Needless to say no Scott/Tiger or System /Manager worked.After some research, came to know that Oracle 8.0 does not work on Windows 2000.My problems dont end there.The uninstaller on the free CD does not work and I have enough data on my comp to do a windows 2000 restore. Please advice
Thanks in advance
Anand

Here is the methode which can help you.
1. Deinstall using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI): Follow the deinstall
process defined for each of the Oracle products that you want to delete.
Follow the deinstall steps indicated in the appropriate product documentation
to do this. This step will disable the Oracle product being used.
2. Login: Login as Administrator into the NT system.
3. Stop Oracle Services: Choose Start-->Settings-->Control Panel--
>Services. Stop all Oracle Services before proceeding to the next step.
4. NT Registry Entries: Choose Start Run type in regedit.exe and hit
enter. This step is necessary to remove Oracle software information from the
NT registry.
a. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, highlight and delete the folder
“ORACLE” if it exists.
b. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Apache Group, Apache, 1.X.X.
Verify if the “ServerRoot” path points to an existing ORACLE_HOME. If
it does, then highlight the top level folder “Apache Group” and delete
the entire folder.
c. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Classes. scroll down and delete
any folders that start with “Ora” if it exists.
d. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurentControlSet, Services, scroll
down and delete any service folders that start with “Ora” if any exist.
Repeat these steps for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, ControlSet <XXX> if it
exists.
e. HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, highlight and delete the folder
“ORACLE” if it exists.
f. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, scroll down and delete all folders starting with
“Ora” or “ORCL” if it exists.
5. Environment Settings: Choose Start Settings Control Panel System

delete them.

b. DISCO_VBROKER
c. VBROKER_JAVAVM
d. VBROKER_TAG
e. WV_GATEWAY_CFG
6. Environment Settings: In the same Environment Tab, remove all path
strings to any previous ORACLE_HOME paths. Here is an example:
a. Example of Path without modifications by Oracle:
1. %SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%
b. Example of an “Oracle modified” Windows NT Path:
1. E:oracledcpc817bin;E:orac

This works great if you follow each step!!! One additional step at 12.5 Choose Start,Search, Files or Folders. Search under 'ora' and delete any remaining files, I found 215 in one orac... folder.
Thanks like you don't know how!
