Hi,

I've just tried to re-install Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on my dev server. I uninstalled Oracle, then went through the normal install process, and patched it to 9.2.0.7. During the main install, Oracle was unable to install 'Cluster Queries' (due to a media failure, I presume), but the rest of the install seemed to go OK. The main install finished with an "Installation Unsuccessful" message, but I presumed this was because of the "Cluster Queries" problem.

Here's the error stack from listener.log when I try to connect:

31-JAN-2007 09:25:21 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORADEV2)
(CID=(PROGRAM=D:\oracle\ora92\bin\sqlplus.exe)(HOST=BGL-DEV2)
(USER=kmce4272))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.0.100.92)
(PORT=1488)) * establish * ORADEV2 * 12500

TNS-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error

32-bit Windows Error: 126: Unknown error

Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance,
