My Database : Oracle 11g Release 2

My TOAD version : Toad Version for Oracle 10g

My Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Please Help

TOAD only works with 32-bit software & Oracle software is 64-bit

Where is that database installed? On your own computer, or do you access it over the network?

Anyway: download and install 32-bit Oracle Client software, install it into a new Oracle Home (i.e. a directory which is different from the one that contains the database installation, if it is installed on your computer). Then try again.

As far as I can tell, TOAD won't work if you install it "by default", accepting directory it offers. Install it into a directory that contains no spaces and is located in disk's root directory (for example, C:\TOAD10).
