Odbc on windows xp pro

I have to access an 8i (8.1.7) server from a win xp pro client. the cd i have is for
nt/2000 and refuses to do anything on xp. i have downloaded the odbc driver and installed
it (ora8177.exe). When i go to the administrative tools and try to add a new data source
it give me an error: "The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corperation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation. You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed.". In the data source dialog it shows the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle version 2.573.7713.00. Where do i find these client and networking components that will install on XP??

that gets the installer to run, and then the net8 configuration tools run ok. but when
i try to test the connection to the database it fails saying it is unable to retrieve
credentials. i can access the same database from a win98 machine with the same process
so something still isn't right on the win xp machine.
does the 9i client work with an 8.1.7 server? and does 9i work with win xp/odbc??

  • Migrating application from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro SP3

    I just got a new computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 installed and need an application that was installed on my old, really old, computer running Windows 2000. The application was developed by a third party in 1997 and uses Oracle as the database engine. It uses Developer 2000 for the interface. Our IT person, who is lightyears ahead of anyone I've ever known when it comes to hardware and software, could not get the application to run on my new computer. We get error FRM-40039 when we try to open the application. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I use this application intermittantly all day and right now the "solution" is for me to go to my old computer to use it. This would be like an editor trying to use a dictionary located in another room from which it could not be removed (and could not consult the internet).

    FRM-40039 is a Forms error, and Forms doesnt use ODBC. You'll probably get better help posting in the forum appropriate for that product. Unfortunately I'm not sure exactly what the forum is :(

  • InstantClient_11_2 error installing/uninstalling odbc for Windows 7 64 bit

    I have read other posting about similar issues but I haven't seen a resolution. So here it goes...
    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    InstantClient 11_2
    Installed as Administrator
    Added/Modified environmental variables
    Good tsnames files (pulled from my XP system)
    First install, I could not see the ODBC driver on the system. YES, I have checked the two different WOW areas - the ODBC driver is not in either. I checked both Registries and it is not there.
    So, I uninstall the ODBC driver (using cmd and going to the directory). I get the following error "Some error occured while deleting the registry key".
    I then tried the install ODBC again and got the following error: "Oracle ODBC Driver with same already exists"
    I've looked at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6423node and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC and the Oracle driver is not there.
    Help... where else would it be and if it is loaded correctly, why wouldn't I see it on the drop down?
    Thank you!

    Well, I thought having my user in the Administrator group was good enough but not so... I enabled the built in Administrator account and then ran the odbc_install and what do you know.. it worked. Now on to see if I can connect.
    Hope this helps someone else with Windows 7.

  • Cannot start Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

    Hi all,
    I am facing a hell lot of problem in starting an Oracle 815 ( Enterprise edition ) database installed on WindowsXP Pro.
    First problem is that , I am a Unix person and very less familier with Windows servers .
    I have successfully ( appearently ) installed Oracle 8.1.5 Enterprise edition on my Laptop with Windows XP Pro.
    In the service manager I can see the created services , like for the database , listener etc.
    I have set all of them to be started manually .
    When I try to start the database service ( instance ) , a progress bar appears as the service is being started .
    As the progress bar progresses , its progress becomes slower and slower , at the end it stops saying ,
    Could not start the OracleService<sid of db> service on Local Computer
    Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    In the service manager the status of the service becomes 'starting' and thats it . It do not allow to start or stop that service after that .
    Is there any log or trace I can see for this ?
    If I start the listener service , it starts immediatly .
    Please advice .

    I have just installed the latest OLEDB (OraWin9204) And ODBC (ora9205) Providers on my laptop using Oracle9i Personal Edition on Windows XP Prof. Now im getting this same error message. (service did not start in a timely fasion)
    If i try and run the oracle service from the command line i get more of a clue.

    the following error message appears :
    The procedure entry point qmxdCvtXtobToSax could not be located in the dynamic link library orageneric9.dll

  • I am using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit on a brand new PC, and cannot connect to the iTunes store using iTunes version 10.  HELP!!

    Ok, so after purchasing a new computer, with windows 7 pro, 64 bit, I tried downloading the newest iTunes, which at the time was 10.2.1 (i believe).  After installation, everything seemed to work, except that iTunes was unable to securely connect to the internet, use home sharing, or validate my computer.
    As troubleshooting, I first ran msconfig, and then turned OFF all programs that boot at start up EXCEPT itunes and quicktime.  After a restart, i opened itunes again, and got the same result.  That led me to believe that iTunes was NOT being blocked by another program on my machine.  I am currently running itunes 10.7 successfully on a Windows 7 32 machine at work.  Anyhow, for grins, I tried to install version 9 on the new computer, and it installed perfectly, and immediately connected to the itunes store, leading me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my software configuration (not sure if this is a safe assumption or not).  I then tried to let iTunes update itself using the automated update function.  It tried to update itself to the most current version, then 10.6.  Again, iTunes was unable to connect to the iTunes store.  I HAVE tried disabling the anti-virus software (AVG), but that made no difference. 
    I have since gone back and reinstalled iTunes 9.  Here's the catch though.  When I reinstalled using version 9, I had to redo all my library files.  I'm about 1/2 way through my CD's, and now have a substantial library file going.  The last time I let iTunes update itself to 10.6, once I realized that it was not going to connect to the store, I uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled ver. 9.  However, when I did this, it told me it could no longer open the library file, because it was a newer .itl or .xml (i believe it was one of those two extensions) library file.  At that point, I basically started everything over again, using version 9, and have been importing CD's like a madman at night.
    Here are my questions:
    1) Is there a way to make a copy of the files that store my library info, so that if my upgrade to ver 10 IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, I can restore ver 9, but still have all of the album art work, playlists (when I import music, I create a playlist with the artists' name, and store things that way), etc. in tact? 
    2) What else can I try (firewall settings, internet options, etc.) to try and get version to to successfully install?  I would really like to get all the benfits of the newer versions.
    3) When I tried to get apple tech support before, they wanted me to pay a ridiculous 69$ fee for phone support.  I just bought an iphone 5....this should entitle me to a fresh 90 days of phone support, right?  The reason I ask here is that I could hardly understand the "tech" that answered the phone when I called for tech support last time, and to be honest, it really ****** me off that they wanted to try and milk me for another 69 bucks....I've purchased every iPhone since the 3Gs came out (pre-ordered at that), and have nearly gone broke purchasing music from their iTunes store....heck, maybe they're doing me me a favor not letting me into the store, huh?
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    -Brian

  • 1st Gen Shuffle not recognized by Windows XP Pro

    I cannot get my 1st gen shuffle to be seen by Windows XP Pro. We have all the updates, the latest version of iTunes. The Shuffle plays, it connects to another computer running Windows XP. I see several messages here that point to different articles. The only thing we haven't done is edit the registry.

    Have you tried going through the steps here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    If that doesn't work, sometimes other USB devices plugged in can cause this. You may want to try removing any other USB devices plugged into the CPU (other than the keyboard and mouse).
    Also, what version of iTunes are you running? Check that by going along the top of iTunes and choosing Help>About iTunes.

  • Usb 3 device "partially" recognized by windows 7 pro

    I have an usb 3 device which was perfectly working with my previous Computer (Windows 7 Pro usb 2 facilities).
    Now I have a new computer (Windows 7 Pro usb 3 facilities) but my usb 3 device is not recognized thru the usb 3. If I plug it into an usb 2 (still available) it works, but the system tells me that it would be better to use an usb 3 port since it would be
    faster... but it doesn't recognized it!
    Could it be due because that device was previously formatted thru an usb 2 port?
    Could somebody help me? (PS I tried roughly all steps suggested on the previous discussions)
    Thanks, any case

    Hi,

  • Print to LaserJet 3150 Shared by Windows XP Pro

    I have an older, but servicable LaserJet 3150 hooked to my Windows XP Pro desktop at work.
    A long time ago, I set it up to share with OS X by creatign a virtual printer using GhostScript and some other queuing utility - this made is look like a PostScript Laserwriter. Worked great!
    Alas, as common with Windows, the system decided to blow iteself away, and had to be rebuilt. I did not keep recipee, and cannot find it online.
    Has anybody seen it? The problem is that the LaserJet 3150 is a impure PCL printer using its own format.

  • Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (64bit) shared folders no longer work with Windows 7 Pro but do work with WindowsXP & Windows 2003

    As of last week, our Windows 7 Pro workstations can not map or browse the Windows 2008 Server shares. They can ping the Windows 2008 server. The Windows 7 Pro machines can still access the Windows 2003 Server Shares. The older workstations running Windows
    XP can still map to the both the Windows 2003 & Windows 2008 Servers. All the servers can browse to each others shared folders (2 windows 2003 server & 1 windows 2008 server). 

    Ok, now you're down to network or permissions issues. An unedited ipconfig /all
    of server and problem workstation may help. You could also try setting up some auditing.

  • IPOD Nano appears in Windows XP Pro, but not in iTunes even 7.1.1

    Dear Experts
    I have 1 GB iPOD nano. In my computer it is identifying in My Computer. But, not in iTunes.
    But, if I put the iPod in Disk Mode, then it is being identified both in My Computer as well as in iTunes also. Then, If I sinc OR manually drag music from PC to iPod in iTunes, it is happening. But after ejecting the iPod from iTunes. The iPod go on blinking mode only.
    (Off and On). How to take it out from Blinking mode to normal I am not able to know.
    Then in that stage If I reconnect it to PC, it is appearing in Disk mode in iTunes. Then to get it normal mode I need to restore it in iTunes. Then only it is comming to normal ipod activity after rmoving it from PC. But after restore there is no music na.
    Software also updated from 1.1 to 1.3 through iTunes in Disk mode. I have downloaded lates iTunes 7.1.1 also from net.
    Please guide me to solve my proble. I found so many people like me who purchased iPod of Apple suffering like this. Why Apple put this much tipical process for their product ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Photoshop 7 (& other old Adobe programs) installation in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Recently I purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) with 2 TB hard drive and 16 GB memory and faced the task of trying to install Photoshop 7, Illustrator 8, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Dreamweaver CS3 that I had used very satisfactorily on my old Windows XP SP 3, 2GB memory computer with less than 1 TB hard drive. I now have all of these running successfully on my new computer and thought I would share here my experience gleaned from a number of other forums after many hours. I had the most problem with Photoshop 7 which I will describe last. In all cases I had the original genuine installation disks. These are generally needed except for Illustrator 8.
    Dreamweaver CS3 -- This installed easily in the Program Files (x86) folder & does not seem to require running in XP compatibility mode
    Acrobat 8 Pro -- Same as Dreamweaver CS3
    Illustrator 8 -- The installation disk would not work for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A solution I found in a Microsoft forum is simply to copy the Illustrator folder and contents into the ProgramData folder on the new computer along with the following dll files in the C\Windows folder of the old computer: icccodes.dll, kpcp32.dll, kpsys32.dll, pcdlib32.dll, pfpick.dll, sprof32.dll  These go right into the Illustrator folder. This program needs to be run using XP compatibility mode (after copying preceding files go to Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features --> Run programs made for previous versions of Windows -- follow directions there). It might be possible to copy into the Program Files (x86) folder too, but the ProgramData folder works. I have not actually used Illustrator after doing this, but since it started ok, I presume that there will be no problems.
    Photoshop 7 -- My Photoshop 7 was an upgrade from Photoshop 5. The PS 5 installation disk would not run on Windows 7 & when I tried the PS 7 upgrade disk (autorun) I got the message that it could not find a previous version of PS & then shut down the installation. I tried the method used for Illustrator 8 above (suggested on yet another forum with an additional dll identified in another Windows folder), but I got the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". This evidently had to do with missing authentication serial code number in the registry. I found some discussion of this in forums but no workable fix in my case which involved an upgrade. Then I discovered inormation in another forum which explained that installation with the disks could be done by inserting the upgrade disk and running it from the setup.exe file instead of autorun. When you do this you are presented with the option of proving your previous version of PS by simply inserting the earlier version PS disk at this pint of the process. After doing this the installation with the upgrade disk proceeds fine. The PS 7 program can be installed in the Adobe folder within the Program Files (x86) folder. However, after doing this and trying to start PS 7 you get the following error (if your hard drive is 1 TB or greater in capacity): "Could not inititialize Photoshop because the scratch disk are full" After much reading I learned that this occurs because PS 7 apparently cannot recognize partitions (volumes) 1 TB or greater. What you need to do is set up an additional partition (volume) on your hard drive. This is easy to do. Go to Windows Help, search on "create partition", choose "Create and format a hard disk partition", and follow the directions. I decided to make a 50 GB partion I named "scratch". The system will assign a drive letter to it. To use the new partion to allow PS 7 to start you need to start PS 7 and immediately press the ALT and CTRL keys together. This will bring up a window where you tell PS 7 which drives to use for its scratch disk. You need to select the newly-created scratch disk(partition) in the first choice and leave the other choices as "None". After doing this you have one last issue. When you try to save any file in PS 7 you cannot save it directly anywhee on the C drive since that drive is 1 TB or greater. What I do is save it to the scratch drive and then later move it from there to where I want it on my C drive. I have seen it suggested to install the PS 7 program itself on the newly-created scratch drive, but I don't know if this would allow saving files to the C drive. When installed the way I have described it does not seem to require operating in the XP compatibility mode.
    Hope this helps those of you who prefer working with the programs they are used to on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  • Adobe CS3 Windows 7 Pro 64bit Issues

    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64bit Edition after my system crashed.
    I installed Adobe CS3 without a problem and it ran fine for a little while. Then one
    day I started up Photoshop and then it just stopped working. So I decided to uninstall
    it and reinstall it. When I started the installation, it halted and asked for this Adobe.dll file
    so it complete. I clicked cancel and it aborted.
    I have read many of the forums and they all suggest downloading a file or windows xp mode
    or virtual pc.
    I have downloaded the file that it needs and it still aborts the installation. I have downloaded
    windows xp mode and installed it succesfully but I have no wish to use this software virtually
    because it is limited in the amount of memory it can use and seems to be a bit sluggish
    regardless of how much memory I allow it to have access to. I also have no access to my second
    monitor.
    Now that I have tried to install cs3 on multiple occasions, i now have to call Adobe so I can have
    them reactive my copy. Adobe has to have some sort of work around or patch for this
    because I cant forsee spending another grand for an upgrade to solve my problem.
    Here is my system specs:
    HP Pavilion M8530f
    AMD Phenom 9550 X4 Quad-Core processor 2.2 gigahertz
    7 gigabytes memory
    ATI Radeon HD 5750 Video card
    2 monitors
    2 terrabyte hard drive

    I am hoping its not because this a serious waste of having a 64 bit system if it is. do you know if this may be cause by a certain release version of cs3? i can imagine why any software would ask me to locate adobepdf.dll when it find itself on the cd. this is very puzzling. i have eliminated the video card, hard drive, and processor. frankly, i don't think i should work so hard to figure out how to eliminate a software especially when i paid so much money for it. if adobe doesn't find a solution, i guess i will have to find some other software that gets the job done without all these head aches.
