8i client install in WinXP Pro

I'm trying to connect to an 8i database via VPN. I have no Oracle software installed on my WinXP Pro workstation. I downloaded the 8.1.7 client and saved it on a CD. When logged in as administrator I insert the CD the autorun window pops up and I select Install/Deinstall Products. The CD spins, the hard disk thrashes, but nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I have been having the same problem on Win2k with Pentium 4 processor, which appears to be the issue.
Here's the workaround:
Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 with Pentium 4 only
� Copy all the files/folders from the oracle 8i CD on to a folder on your c: drive. Do NOT name this folder Oracle.
� Change the name of the symcjit.dll file.
For Windows XP: Change from symcjit.dll to symcjit_disc.dll
For Windows 2000: Change the symcjit.dll to symcjit.dll.ori
The path to this file is:
C:\stage\components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1\Data Files\Expanded\jre\win32\bin
� Now go back to your main c: drive directory and run the setup file.
Alternatively the 1507768 will do the trick.

USB not installing under WinXP Pro

I have a MS-6380E RAID board, and after reinstalling
WinXP Pro, the USB ports do not recognize the mouse, printer, etc. I have removed them, and attempted to update drivers using the CD, and downloads from MSI downloads, but windows tells me the drivers are for win95.

Get from here : http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php
Your board is KT3 Ultra2 or KT3 Ultra ? Ultra goes for NEC, Ultra2 goes for VIA USB.

8i client install for xp pro

I'm running XP pro on a home computer and want to connect to an Oracle db at work through VPN. I have no oracle software installed currently.
I downloaded both the full install file and the client-only file for 8i. After burning the client to a CD, I inserted the CD and it auto-started and I selected the install/reinstall option. The window goes away, the CD spins and the hard drive thrashes, but then all stops. Task Manager doesn't show anything running as an app.
What's wrong here? Do I need to disable virus protection? I have the latest java virtual machine from Sun installed. Where do I go next?
Thanks in advance.

Please see my response to your earlier question.

Re: Installing WinXP Pro SP2 / Boot Camp - Drive Bay 2 - which partition?

I am stuck and I can't seem to find the answer through Google searches.
I have a Mac Pro and I am working on installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a second SATA drive. It is a 500gb drive by Western Digital and it happens to be the same size as the Mac OSX drive - 500gb.
Because they are alike in size I can't tell which is which in the installer. Here are my options:
476938mb Drive
H: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 476938 free
476938mb Drive
I: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 200mb free
C: Partion 2 (Unknown) - 476938 free
My guess is to install WinXP on the H: partition and I just want to confirm this as I don't really wish to wipe out my MacOS on the drive in Bay 1.
Can anyone confirm this? I wished this was addressed in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. They only address one drive that is partitioned, not two seperate drives. Also nothing listed shows up with the label BOOTCAMP.
Thanks in advance.

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.
For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

Can I use WinXP Home serial number using WinXP Pro install disc

Hello everyone,
I am going to downgrade from Vista to XP (my DELL machine was originally XP Home) but I don't have my old XP install files anymore. I did do have a Windows XP Professional SP3 install disc. My question is: Would I be able to use my serial number using the WinXP Pro install disc for a clean install? (I am going to format my C drive.)
Thanks!

Hey there! You would not be able to use the Home Key with a Professional disc.

How to install WinXP Pro over W2k on the Satellite Pro 6100?

Hi there,
I have brought a 2nd hand Satellite Pro, Model version SP6100 (PS610E-029ZV-EN), P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb, 30GB, with Windows 2000 Pro installed.
I cannot get the wireless to connect to my router. The switch is in the correct position.
I have been advised that it could possibly be a conflict between the wireless facility and Win2000 Pro. Therefore I want to change to WinXP Pro using the key supplied with the laptop from new (dual OS). However I can't get it to reformat using an WinXP Pro disk at start up, the disk is ignored and Win2000 Pro loads. If I use the recovery cd (start with holding C down and release when it runs up) something begins which I presume to be an installation sequence however within seconds I see a reference to a z drive(?), a brief display of three rows of "invalid drive specification" and it again loads Win2000 Pro.
Can anyone advise how (or if!) I can reformat?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Possibly its a wrong booting order but usually after pressing the C button the notebook should boot up from the CD.
You said the drive does something and I think the booting from drive was activated but the drive is not able to read from the medium.
For me it sounds like a drive malfunction.
By the way: Check in the device manager if your notebook has installed WLan card. I think you cannot connect to WLan router because the card was not installed. The WLan switch is available because the WLan card is optional for this notebook. You know?

Fail to install WinXP Pro on KT3 Ultra2

Hi,
I've been trying to install WinXP Pro on KT3 Ultra 2 box, but it always stalled at the point after it loads all the driver and says "Setup is Starting Windows" on the lower status bar. I notice a quick flicker on the keyboard light and the keyboard is no longer responding.
My hardware:
Athlon XP2200+
MSI KT3Ultra2 Bios v5.5
MSI G4Ti4200 128MB
Corsair XMS 2700 512MB
WD1000JB
Adaptec 2930 SCSI w/ Pioneer 305S
Antec Performance Plus 860
Swiftech MCX462
Default BIOS w/ 133FSB
I also tried the install the same setup using an old Matrox Millenium II 4MB video card but if failed at the same point.
Any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

After reading a couple of posts that suggest users to remove all unnecessary devices during install, I decided to remove all my SCSI devices, take an old IDE CD-ROM drive, and BINGO.. the install went smoothly.
I guess the problem has something to do with the SCSI card and its devices. Very strange. I didn't think that booting from a SCSI DVD-ROM could be a problem.
Thanks again for all the replies!

WinXP PRO install issue with SATA RAID floppy on P45D3

Hello,
My objective is to set up 2 RAID volumes (one in RAID0 + one in RAID1) using Intel RAID Matrix Manager.
After having enabled RAID mode on BIOS, created the 2 RAID volumes and pressed F6 at the beginning of WinXP PRO installation without any problem, I am stuck when one file from Intel SATA RAID driver floppy needs to be written on the disk.
The problem appears after having confirmed the partition I want to install WinXP on. I got the following message:
"Cannot write iaStor.sys" . And I have to cancel the installation.
I do not know where this file has to be written ... Additionally, this file was perfectly read (and written somewhere) just after having pressed "S" and provided the floppy during the first phase of WinXP installation.
Any suggestion to help me ?
Thanks
My config (partial):
- P45 D3 Platinum with E8500 Dual Core
- 2G DDR3
- 2x 500G SATA2 HDD

Quote from: didierpilon
How did you solved this ?
I Googled and found this page which was very useful (the blue text is a link; you can click on it).
In fact I already knew how to do it using nLite (which I normally use), but now I tried their F6 floppy advice for educational purposes and that worked as well!
Key is that the files have to be present twice, on different locations on the floppy...

Need help! Cant Install the New WINXP Pro with SPK2 on it!

Please Help before I chuck this board back to where it came from...
Iam having major issues with a K8N Neo Platinum NF250g and a New WINXP Pro with SPK2 on it already.
The problem is that WINXP Pro wont get pass the setup stage after a full format.
It gets to about 45 to 56% and then the famous Blue Sceen of Death appiers with a problem saying that " If you have any new Hardware or Software installed to remove it or disalble it...
My first thourts where I havent plug somthing in right. So I go and check everything and find that theres nothing wrong. I do it again and same thing BSOD again. So me thinks maybe my graph card has it self. Put my old MSIFX5700.
boot up, quick format and samething again. So I think maybe the ram isint sitting in right. Move Geil DRR 400 512m to DIMM2 and well it didint boot up. LOL.
So I move it back and take out me Sound Blaster Live 5.1 and then trying the whole all over again. Quick Format. Now in Setup 45% Blue Screen of Death...
I have even tried swapping HD's around and still got the same resault.
So I decided to install a Coppied Version with WINXP Pro with Service PK1 on it.
It acuttuly got passed the setup and finaly booted windows.
I was starting to think that the WINXP pro I brought was stuffed. Untill I installed Doom3, StarWars BattleFront and FarCry. All of the games will with in 5mins of starting up. I get the windows saying that it has encouted an error at this adress
STOP: 0x000000A (0x408ce16c, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80818652)
This is same as what I get with the Blue Screen of Death.
The only thing that I can think of is that the AGP port is stuffed.
Please can someone help me solve this problem!!!.

Seriously - It could be as asimple as a badly recorded CD/DVD.
I have a DVD with winxp+sp2 slipstreamed, plus unattended setup + it installs all my apps, drivers and registry changes :D (http://unattended.msfn.org is a great site for this )
Anyway - I had exactly the same problem and I thought it was this motherboard and did all kinds of , formatting FAT/NTFS removing RAM blah blah blah. after about 10 failed install attempts, I re-recorded the DVD on my GF's machine (I keep the .iso as a backup!)
And boom 1st time no problems

Installing Dreamweaver CS6 on WinXP Pro (was: I give up!!!!!)

Has anyone ever successfully installed Dreamweaver CS6 under WinXP Pro? The install went OK but when I try to launch DW it starts the launch and after 3-4 seconds of the launch process it quits/exits. I have tried everything on multiple forums such as de-install, cleanup, re-install under Admin account, delete and install new admin account, registry cleanup, install with NO user programs or services running, deleting profile folders etc. Oh yes, I successfully installed it on my laptop under Win7 and it runs fine. I have been struggling with this for a week or so. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Guy P.

I have and I have had no problems so far. The only thing is I don't get any updates these days but I guess there aren't any.
For CC you need Windows 7 or Windows 8 so forget about it until you get a new machine.

MSI MEGA 180 - Installing WinXP Pro

I have been reading the various posts on the MSI MEGA 180 and it seems evehas had a lot of eperience with them!
I have bought one, and have tried installing Windows XP Pro on it, and this is where it all goes wrong.
I start the installatiuon process, go through the text-only bit, and get to the graphicy bit. Then, the process either just freezes, or comes up with the blue screen of death with a STOP error, usually IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I have tried the MS Knowedgebase KB314063 which suggests changing the power settings, but have had no luck with that.
Here is my spec:
-MSI MEGA 180
- W6796MS V3.3 121003 18.25.07
-AMD Athlon XP 1800+
- 1 x 512mb RAM PC2700
Many thanks in advance,
Nick.

Thanks for your help.
Brent92663's suggestion about the memory got me thinking. I didn't have any other 100mhz memory (PC2100) so I kept my 133mhz (PC2700) memory in, but changed the settings in the BIOS so it operated at 100mhz, and it now works fine!
(If anybody wants to know how todo this, let me know).
Very strange....
I have yet to try it with the normal settigns, but it is something todo tomorrow!
Thanks a lot,
Nick.

WinXp Pro as Virtualbox Guest can't ping router/internet

Hi:
I am running Arch 64 and installed virtualbox_bin 2.0.4-1 from AUR and guest additions 2.0.2-1 from AUR.
I have installed as a guest os, WinXP Pro and set up bridge networking per
http://mychael.gotdns.com/blog/2007/05/ … -bridging/.
My Arch host works fine (it can access the internet and ping the guest WinXP Pro). My WinXP Pro guest can ping my Arch host and other local machines on my network. However it cannot ping my router or access or ping the internet.
I log onto the WinXP Pro as the Administrator and I have the firewall disabled, so I don't think it is being blocked on the XP side by anything.
As far as Arch goes, I have tried adding the host name of the WinXP Pro machine to /etc/hosts and put the ip adress of the XP machine into /etc/hosts.allow. Neither of these actions resulted in success. I don't think I have a firewall or other special security measures on my Arch? I just did a fresh ftp install yesterday and did not add ssh or other security measures that weren't included in the default install and the base-devel install.
My search of the forums turned up a similar problem to mine that was solved by removing the firewall in the WinXP guest. I have already done that still without success.
My uneducated guess is that the gateway ip is not getting to the guest. I am using static ip for both the Arch host and the WinXP guest. The WinXP guest says that it is connected and reports no problems. I tried using dhcp on the XP guest but that didn't work either.
Here is the network section of my /etc/rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
bridge_br0=(eth0)
br0="br0 192.168.1.201 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc"
INTERFACES=(lo br0 eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Floris:
Thanks for the reply.
I originally tried the Arch Way without success, that is why I tried the other way.
However at your suggestion, I have tried the Arch Way again, with the same results. That is I can ping other computers on my network but I can't ping my router nor access the internet from my guest.
Seeing that I have the same problem regardless of which method I use leads me to believe that it must be something simple and obvious that I am doing wrong. But what??! I have no idea.
Any thoughts you have would be much appreciated.

WinXP Pro 64, any nForce3 SATA/RAID drivers?

Im looking to install Windows XP pro 64 bit and notice the only drivers that are missing in the download section is the Raid drivers for Nforce3.
Do i install the regular XP ones or does 64bit have them on disk already? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=572&kind=1

Quote from: Supershanks on 15-August-05, 19:39:15
I'm confused your after nvidia drivers yet spec shows = VIA® K8T800 chipset.
If Nvidia d/load the nvidia64 drivers & make a new floppy with the updated drivers. to do this Right click the D/L driver File & select unpack/unzip. Navigate to the \Nvidia\nForce_vrsion ?? \IDE\WinXP folder copy everything except the raidtool Folder onto floppy.
luck
Why are you confused? i want to know why or if i can use regular XP pro raid drivers for my Nforce3 chipset on MSI neo platinum board if i install Windows XP pro 64-bit edition. There is no 64 bit download for them so , do i need any?

Acrobat 7 Pro run processor 100% on WinXP Pro SP3

Recently, this Dell Inspiron notebook (WinXP Pro SP3, 1GB Ram, Pentium M processor) runs the processor 100% within 10 seconds of when Acrobat starts. This is a relatively recent change in behavior of Acrobat.
So I Unintalled Acrobat (which took an hour with the processor also running 100%) and reinstalled (with MSIexec.exe running 100% during installation for 30 minutes). But it did install successfully.
When Acrobat.exe starts, it still runs the processor at 90%+, even when NO PDF file is open.
Any suggestions. Could this situation/probem be associated with WinXP SP3?
Thank you for suggestions.

As I recall I do not get such behavior on my XP tablet (SP3) and AA7. At least I have not noticed it and I use Acrobat a lot.

BIOS Compatibility between WinXP Pro and Vista Home Premium

I want to install WinXP Pro on my pc. I have a Desktop 3000 J115, Model 7387-A11 and it came with Vista Home Premium. I want to make sure that the BIOS can support either OS. If it cannot, I would like to know how to get the correct BIOS. I realize that there may be a few BIOS settings that are different between the OS's.
Thanks

This is not a right forum to post this problem. You should post it in Database General Forum.
I've Windows Vista Home Edition 32 bit.
In my laptop it is running but screen resolution changes to basic colour. Due to this, some graphical distortion occurs in few places. Also, refresh in the query grid needs to be perform when you are scrolling SQL Developer data from top to bottom or vice versa.
