I agree. For many reasons, I'd rather fix it than wipe/reinstall the machine.

Yes, Windows XP Pro SP2. Its worked on this box before, but I have no idea what has been changed.

I had to install sqlplus to try this, but after I did the connect works fine in sqlplus. If I failed to mention it before, the Test in the easyconfig tool always succeeds as well. Unfortunately, the application still has the same errors.

I think I'll wipe all traces of both oracle installs from the machine (or at least as much as I can find) and see if I can make any progress that way.
