I am working on Personal Oracle 7. I created a database alias, then created a connection from Oracle Navigator. When I click on the connection, it says ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process.

This is what the Oracle help says:

Cause: The process of starting up a dedicated server process failed. The executable could not be found or the environment may be set up incorrectly. Action: Turn on tracing at the ADMIN level and reexecute the operation. Verify that the ORACLE Server executable is present and has execute permissions enabled. Ensure that the ORACLE environment is specified correctly in LISTENER.ORA. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

I don't know hot to verify that.

I used the Control Panel on Windows NT to go to the Services list, and OracleTNSListener was not started, even though it is to start automatically. I tried to start it and it goes:

Could not start OracleTNSListener service on \\SERVER. Error 2140: An internal Windows NT error occurred.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Jafar
