Hi Vincent,
Try to restart your database manually from Windows services.
What was the last error?

Subject: Oracle hangs on startup (9.2 on Win2000)
We're getting a very strange problem with very few symptoms to work =3D from.
It's our policy to take cold backups of our Oracle 9.2 database, which =
=3D
runs on a Win2000 server. Consequently, the Veritas backup job first =3D
shuts down Agent, Listener and database, then the backup runs, then the =
=3D
job restarts the database, Listener and Agent.
All the above has worked perfectly well for several months. Until last =
=3D
night... when someone tried to connect to the database, it was apparent =
=3D
that the database was still down. I looked in the event log and found =
=3D
the following:
These were the last lines in the event log. It looks as though the =3D startup of Oracle simply "hung". No error messages, no trace files =3D generated. Nothing, just hanging there.
We tried stopping and restarting the database service, with exactly the =
=3D
same result (the above is pasted from this later attempt, in fact). We =
=3D
tried rebooting the server. Same result. The listener log indicates no =
=3D
problems. But every attempt to startup the database gives the above =3D
result.
Any ideas, please?
