Can't run database after upgrading to windows 7

Hello,
Last week I had a perfectly running 11g database on my personal computer, but then I upgraded my OS from Vista to 7 (which is the final version, legal). After the upgrade, my database which was installed on an external HD can't seem to be started.
I tried running it with the administration tools, but it's not in the database section anymore. I also tried running it with SQL*PLUS, but when I try the startup command or just to connect I get ORA-12560 TNS: protocol adapter error.
I know it's hard to come up with a solution since Windows 7 is new, but I'd like to know where to look and what could cause this problem.
Thanks

Oracle made the database software work with Vista. It calls intgernal stuff provided by Microsoft.
One of the big things about the upgrade to Windows 7 is that Microsoft changed how some internal stuff works. For some reason calling stuff differently doesn't always work - or worse, works in deviously dangerous ways.
If you build a motor to hook into the car with #12 bolts and the car manufacturer changes to #14 bolts, would you still expect it to fit properly?
You MAY be able to get it to work with the Windows 2008 version, but I weould not hold my breath.

  • Can't find photos after upgrading to Windows 7

    Bridge was working fine in Vista but after upgrading to Windows 7, I cannot find any of my photo files with bridge.  Photoshop CS4 find them OK and so does Lightroom but for some reason Bridge does not list them under Folders.  If I click on Libraries it says "no files".  It does not list Pictures or My Pictures.  I am totally stumped.

    If I am in Photoshop
    and go File>Open I get a list:
    Recent Places
    Desktop
    Libraries
    Computer
    Network
    I click on Libraries and get a list:
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    I click on Pictures and that is where all my picture files are stored  (Used to be My Pictures in XP)
    This also works in Lightroom if I Click on Import/Choose Files
    Howeve,r from within Bridge, if I click on Libraries it says "No items to Display"
    Also,within Bridge, If I click on the Files menu, the work Open is grayed out.

  • Can't run KDE after upgrade

    I've upgraded glibsc, filesystem and migrated to systemd. I can't load KDE after it. I didn't find any info about KDE and systemd, but seems systed is the problem. KDM and initializations works without troubles, but kde plasma and desktop doesn't show up. Black screen or wallpaper and cursor is visible. Some of my daemon.log:

    Probably I need to show some other log? I'm not sure which exactly.

    I've dived into systemd and had some progress. One of problems was with conflict between udisk2 and udisk (both were loaded). As far as I understand KDE doesn't support udisk2, so I did systemctl disable udisk2.service. Now there are no failed units:

  • Can't Open Reports after upgrading to Windows Server 2008R2

    Since upgrading to Windows Server 2008R2, I am unable to use File > Open to browse my network for existing Crystal Reports.  I am able to access reports from my recent reports list.  If I use Windows Explorer to try to find/open an existing report file, I'm prompted for the installation disk.  Is this a known issue?  Thanks for your help.

  • Can't run Compressor after upgrading..

    Hello everybody,
    I'm really desperate now.. I need to use compressor for my dvd project, but I can't use it any more..
    I think i really did something wrong..
    A few days ago I installed the upgrade (3.0.1), no problem, that was just fine.
    But I usually put my studio 2 programs in a sub map called work flow.. So after the upgrade I had 2 compressor files, one directly in my application folder, and one in my sub-map..
    I think i replaced the older version with the upgrade or something.. When i tried to run it, it asked for a serial number.. But when i filled in the same serial as in fcp, it said it's a wrong one..
    So, after that, i thought it was time for a reinstall of compressor..
    But, after running the installer, it's only getting worse..
    Compressor crashes now after showing the nice compressor logo..
    Can someone help me?? I am really desperate..
    greetings, ewald (I apologize for my bad english ;))

    Hello, having the same exact problem and I hope that apple is listening because all I did was up grade from the update software. I now only get the pretty Compressor logo that does nothing and I can't access anything and that's a bear. Went to another forum and posted my delima they said to reinstall. I have done it twice. I have shake and Qmaster and they don't seem to have upgrades listed. I read on of Apples boards that Shake and Qmaster go together with compressor in the upgrade time so they should have simultaneous releases of upgrades and there was none for the other two apps. Anyone heard of this scenario. Please help...begging!

  • I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • What can I do if I get an internal power error after upgrading to Windows 10?

    QuestionWhat can I do if I get an internal power error after upgrading to Windows 10?
    AnswerSome laptops with AMD graphics that upgraded to Windows 10 are showing blue screens with error messages regarding Internal_Power_Error. If you receive this error, try the procedure in this article.
    First, you'll need to quickly set the boot options to Safe Mode:
    1. Hold the Windows key and press 'R' to open the run box.
    2. Type MSCONFIG, then press ENTER.
    3. Select the BOOT tab.
    4. Under BOOT OPTIONS, check Safe boot, then select Minimal.
    5. Click Apply, then OK.
    6. Click Restart. (If prompted, click Restart anyway.)
    From Safe Mode disable the AMD Display Driver:
    1. Hold the Windows key and press the 'X' key to open a menu in the lower-left.
    2. Click Device Manager.
    3. Expand Display adapters to show the two display adapters.
    4. Double click AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series.
    5. Select the Driver tab.
    6. Click Disable, then click Yes to confirm.
    7. Click Close.
    8. Hold the Windows key and press the 'R' key to open the run box.
    9. Type MSCONFIG, then press ENTER.
    10. Select the BOOT tab.
    11. Uncheck Safe boot.
    12. Click Apply, then OK.
    13. Click Restart. (If prompted, click Restart anyway.)
    From Windows 10 started with the AMD Display Driver disabled:
    1. Hold the Windows key and press the 'X' key to open a menu in the lower-left.
    2. Click Device Manager.
    3. Expand Display adapters to show the two display adapters.
    4. Double click AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series.
    5. Select the Driver tab.
    6. Click Update Driver.
    7. Click Search automatically for updated driver software.
    8. An AMD driver should be found and installed.
    The driver that originally caused this problem is AMD display driver version 15.200.1046.2 dated 7/15/2015.
    The driver installed through this process might have an older date, such as 15.200.1055.0 dated 7/6/2015. That's okay.

    I'm having the same problem.  I got error message 21.  I went to apple store.  they are saying i have a hardware error.  Really, my phone was working before the update.  Asked me for $150 to get another one when I am due to get a new one and wanted to pass this one on to my child. 
    Help please,
    I will be glad to go back to the older software update

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • Ethernet LAN not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

    After upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, my Ethernet LAN is no longer working. Wireless LAN connectivity is OK. I have run the HP Support Assistant and downloaded the drivers for 8.1. Hovever, I do not see a 8.1 driver listed for the Ethernet LAN.

    You're very welcome. See if the recovery manager still works so you can roll back to W8. Please read this guide for how to use it. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03489643 If it doesn't then you will have to order a set of recovery disks from HP, or you can install this plain W8 OEM software this guy has posted on a link. Lots of folks have used it successfully, which is why I posted it. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?pli=1 Then use this tool to make the iso file bootable to a DVD or 4+ GB USB flash drive. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool Yes, that really stinks why you and I could not upgrade without an issue. I disabled about 5 or 6 devices in the device manager and the code 12 would not go away. I have no clue why the PC works fine on W8 but not on W8.1. My notebook is a few years older than yours and it worked fine on W8.1 but not on W10. Go figure...
