Oracle 8.1.7 Pro*C on Windows XP Problems

Two years ago I had Pro*C, (Oracle 8.1.7), running on NT v 4.0 service pack 5. I used the cl.exe compiler successfuly and gcc, (2.95 I think). This time I have installed Oracle 8.1.7 client on Windows XP Professional and none of the programs work. If I try to run code built on this platform with the make files and code that worked 2 years ago the programs crash. I am stumped. Can anybody help me or point me to some documentation.

Tom,
Thanks for replying.
I don't see what I can compile. The initial program I am trying to compile is very simple it has a connect statement followed by the definition of a cursor, the cursor is opened and the fetch is performed. The program crashes on performing the open of the cursor. It seems to me that Pro*C is producing C output that the comipilers, (cl.exe in the visual studio .Net IDE, or mingw gcc for win32), cannot turn into runnable code on the Windows XP Professional platform. Pro*C is not open source code so I cannot recompile that, Microsoft cl.exe is most definately not open source. gcc is open source and I suppose I could recompile that but surely the mingw win32 compiler should work as it is standard and widely used. Anyway the output of both the compilers fails. Maybe I will compile gcc for my installation but it seems to me like Pro*C is probably the culprit here and trying to run the Oracle 8.1.7 version on XP may not be possible. I posted here in case this is a known problem.
Another thought has just occured to me that maybe I should try running a 10g or 9i version of Pro*C on the 8.1.7 installation. How would I get this? Would I have to install the whole installations to get the binary?

LaserJet Pro P1606dn and Windows 8 problems

I recently upgraded an office of 7 computers to Windows 8. The office has a networked LaserJet P1606dn printer. I had pre-installed the driver, downloaded from the HP website, onto the new computers. I had Group Policy Preferences push out the new printer to the computers. When I went to print a test page from one of the computers, it began printing an endless amount of the same test page! So I disabled the group policy and, using Print Manager, I manually uninstalled and re-installed the printer and print driver. I tried another test page and it printed only one page but it displays an error on the computer saying that the page failed to print. I've tried switching the driver to the one from Windows Update but it gives the same results. I've tested this on all 7 of the computers with the same results. Any ideas?

Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition on Windows ME

I am trying to install "Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition for Windows 98" on Windows ME. I can't install it. During the install on the Oracle Universal Intaller, on the part where it asks for the Source and Destination, after I click "Next" to install, it gives me a error message: "Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area". So I can't proceed with the installation.
The computer I am using is a Pentium 3, 700mhz, 128mb Ram.
On my other computer, it is a Dell Dimension Pentium 4, 1.3 GHz, 128mb ram. When I attempt to install it, while running the D:\setup.exe, before it even loads the install program, it gives me the error message: "Jrew has caused an error in JAVAI.DLL. Jrew will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer". Restarting my computer does not solve the problem.
Can anyone help me out, I really would appreciate it. Thank you.

There is supposedly a fix for this 'stage error' but I tried one of them and it doesn't work. What i have found is that you either create a dual boot Win ME/(98 or 2000 pro) or dump ME as I did and run 98 or 2000 instead. It is painful but unfortunately, seeming necessary. I made it a bit less painful by using Symantec Works to back up all of my other loaded APPS (and Registry entries) Most reloaded to 98 even though they were running in ME.
Good luck.

Automatic Startup of Oracle 8.1.6.0 on MS Windows 2000

Problem: Database not starting automatically.
OracleService<SID> states "starting" instead of "started".
Database can be opened manually via DBA Studio or via sql command line.
O/S: W2k Service Pack 2
RDBMS Version: Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 for Windows
Tasks previously completed to remedy the problem with no satisfactory results.
The OracleService<SID> deleted and reinstalled using oradim.exe.
Oracle Service startup set to "Automatic";
Registry checked to ensure the path is correct for the parameter file. Path is over 39 characters (another post said older versions could handle only 39 chars - is this still a problem in 8i).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and subsequently resolved it or developed a work-a-round.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new with Oracle, and I'm having problems installing the database v8i on Windows XP-Home. My classmates have successfully installed it with both XP-Pro and XP-Home. The problem is that when I click on the Install icon, the disk spins for a while, then nothing happens, and the installation doesn't even start. When I list the files on the CD and click on the setup file and select Run from the pull down menu, and enter my user name (which has administrator privileges) and password, Oracle opens a window with a message that the registry cannot be modified because I don't have permissions, and closes down.
I know the CD is good, because I tried in a different computer. Are there any settings on Windows that I'm missing? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Oracle 10g Listener XP pro need to be restarted ...

Hello all.
Here is my problem. I have oracle 10g installed on a computer with Windows XP pro Sp1a. Every thing work fine despite 1 point. When the computer is restarted, a small software starts the different Oracle Services (Oracle Database Service and listener) and wait for the 2 services to be in the state "started". After startup, the two services are in the state "started" but, sometimes, I can not get connected to Oracle. In the listener log, I have a message "TNS-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor".
To solve the problem, I have to restart either the listener service or the oracle service or both of them.
My problem is that this computer must be an "auto starting system".
What can I do to solve this problem ???? Is there a specific order to start the process ?, Should I put dependency between them ???
Thank for your help.
D. GARRIVIER

If you use, as I think, dynamic service registration (no SID_LIST in Listener.ora for your DB), then it would be better to start the listener before the Database. If not, the registration could take a few seconds (or minutes). Anyway, if this is the problem, you should be able to connect after a few seconds (or minutes).

Clean installation of windows 8.1 pro on Thinkpad e550 activation problems.

I have installed a SSD hard drive and need a clean instalations of windows for development using multiple platforms.
My plan was to have a tri-boot on three partitions on a mbr formated drive.
-Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit;
-WIndows 8.1 Pro 32bit, and;
-WIndows 7 Ultimate 64bit using downgrade rights.
The following steps were used:
1. Switching the hard drive and cloning the oem copy to the first partition;
2. Activate windows getting the OEM key from the system (so I had no hardware changes);
3.Use the anytime upgrade in the system properties to upgrade to pro;
4.Clone the windows 7 OS from the old PC and place in on a partion;
5.Download both install media for windows 8.1 Pro from MS Creating Install media;
6. Create media as detailed here;
7. Modify the install to allow entry of key after install as shown here because pro license and oem keys where not acepted during install;
8.Went to BIOS. Turned on Legacy and disable secure boot;
9.Install Windows 8.1 both versions, and;
10. Repair boot to load all three OS.
Good, Now I have all three OS installed all working. However, The pro product key will not activate the windows 8.1 pro and the oem key won't be acepted saying it is the wrong version of windows.
So called MS activation line and they say i need to contact the OEM for activation and downgrade keys for 7 even though i paid for the upgrade through the MS store and the product was already activated once on the system.
Questions:
1. How can i activate the Windows 8.1 pro via Lenovo?
2. How can I activate the Windows 7 copy under downgrade rights with Windows 8.1 pro?
3. Am i missing something with the UEFI/BIOS? (Note:I need to use mbr not GPT format on the drive.)
I have switch the UEFI mode/duel modes during install without success.

"Is a Win 7 32 virtual client an option?"
What VC are you using?
I use VMWare Player (free) and use it to create virtual clients as needed. Typically the virtual clients are "clean installs" from ISOs. VMWare has it so well mechanized that there's not much to it.
It's pretty quick and easy to install Player and give it a try. Another advantage to that approach is that there's only a single OS at the top level and backups can capture the whole mess w/out having to deal with 2 or 3 different OSs and their partitions.

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

Eroracle patchset( 9.2.0.6.0) to Oracle (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows Xp (32 bit)

Hi All,
I am trying to apply oracle patchset( 9.2.0.6.0) to Oracle (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows Xp (32 bit) system. While trying to apply this patch I got a message to shutdown OS services like RPC (Remote Procedure Call), COM3+ System Event which should not happen ideally. As per my experience we can not close down the RPC service, Since this is a critical system service. Have any faced similar problem in the past? If yes, then please let me know.
Thank You.

Hi,
There are two concerns about your upgrade.
Direct upgrade to 11.2.0 is not support from version 9.2.0.6, at least you should be on version 9.2.0.8.
11.2.0.3 is not supported on solris8, at least you should be on OS version - Solaris 10.

MacBook Pro Core i7 + Windows 7 Bootcamp issues

I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro Core i7 2.66Ghz with 8GB Ram and 500GB 7200rpm HD and Hi-Res display.
When I received it, I updated all Mac OS X software via software update.
I then created a 70GB Bootcamp partition to install a new full copy of Window 7 Ultimate.
I started with the 64bit version of Win 7, but as has been noted here there are some issues with the driver packages and even after managing to get the 64bit version of the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package update to install in Windows (having first installed Bootcamp 3.0 drivers), the wireless driver would not install or work, nor would the NVidia driver, so I had a very odd display aspect and low res support. There may well have been other drivers not working either, but these two really stood out.
Despite the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package apparently being installed (as reported by "About Bootcamp", the 3.1 package was still being offered to me in Apple Software Update. I tried to install again, and again it still showed as being available to install. Obviously some issue's here.
So I decided to try the Windows 7 32bit edition instead, as I don't necessarily need the 64bit version to run the Windows apps I need.
I deleted the Bootcamp partition and started again. I ended up in the exact same situation with Windows 7 32bit as I had done with Windows 7 64bit - wireless device without a driver, NVidia drivers not installed. This time I had used the Bootcamp 32bit driver packages.
In the end I've opted to just install it via VMware as a pure virtual machine. This works fine, but for what I do in Windows, I prefer to have a Bootcamp setup.
Is there a general issue with the new MacBook Pro's and Windows 7 despite Apple releasing updated driver packages? Do these new driver packages handle the dual GPU setup properly?
I have read a number of "How to's..." for installing Windows 7 on the a MacBook Pro, but none have been successful for me. Am I wasting my time for now and need to wait for Apple to update Bootcamp for the 2010 MacBook Pro's, or am I just missing something in the way I'm doing this? I can't believe it shouldn't be this hard?

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=30&tstart=0
I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.

MacBook Pro crashes on Windows 7 Boot

Hey,
I just bought a new 2010 13 inch macbook pro, and installed Windows 7 on it. When I boot Windows 7 I can use it for like 20 seconds and then later the mouse cursor gets stuck and nothing works. Both the keyboard and the mouse both dont respond to anything I do.
Just worth mentioning: I installed all the updates before installing Windows 7 and installed the windows 7 drivers after the installation finished.

So just to be sure, you have the Apple BootCamp control panel and other devices.
You checked device manager.
Might want to run msconig and for me, I disable and uninstall what I don't want running and don't use (Bonjour, MobileMe, etc).
Your OEM DVD is newer than the Boot Camp 3.1, so if you did install 3.1 I would suspect it is at fault.
Mouse and keyboard seem to (again) be common complaints. Also graphic drivers.
Make sure you have room for and using System Restore points and can "roll back" and driver update you made.
