RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails

Try using lsnrctrl from the command prompt to start as sometimes errors don't make to the GUI but will display from lsnrctrl. Also check your event viewer log errors may appear there as well.  

Troubleshoot this as a listener.ora configuration problem.

   Sorry, I misread your message, I had the impression the db would not start... not that the listener would not start.  

Is it possible you/someone installed oracle that was not an administrator, at the time of install. Sounds like a permissions problem.  

possible solution to uninstall/ clean the registry (remove all referenced to oracle in the registry with the exceptions of legacy apps) and reinstall as administrator....  

have you tried running other services ? like lsnrctl?  

Im running Windows 2000 sp3, ver 8.1.7.2 here without any issue at all (other than the autostart patch problem I posted earlier patch 1522966)

Good morning everyone,

Windows 2000 sp3, ver 8.1.7.2

I have NO IDEA what is going on here. I can't start any of the services associated with Oracle, not with my logon, not with local admin, not with a local account with appropriate permissions, nothing.

Here's what I've tried:

• Followed note on metalink stating to add local security policies: Act as part of operating system, increase quotas, log on as batch job, replace a process level token, and rebooted.
• All logons are part of the administrator and the ORA_DBA group.
• I am able to log in as each of these local accounts, the accounts are not locked or messed up. I have double-checked the password in the properties tab.
• Local system account also fails with same error.

Here's the error I receive when I try to manually start the listener service:

"Could not start the OracleOraHome81TNSListener service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."

I am clueless and so is the sysadmin. I am just thankful this is a test system instead of production... I know next to nothing about windows.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
