This problem has lasted for a long time (about 2 years), especially with Oracle 8.0.5 + Windows 98 + BDE 5.01, I have encountered it so many times that I cannot deny the fact. I just found this happens with Oracle 8.1.7 client and/or Windows 2K as well, so I asked.

If you mean the re-boot after the Oracle installation which makes PATH environment variable effective, I am very sure of it, because Oracle was installed a while ago before BDE was installed with Borland C++.
