Problem in installation of Oracle 9i in windows xp

Question

hi everybody
I've encountered an error while installing Oracle 9i. At the end of installation process when it wants to configure "Database Configuration Assistant" it passes the two first steps :
"Copying database files"
"Initializing database"
but it fails through the step of "Creating and starting Oracle instance" at the progress of 81% and it shows an error dialog with no comment and no hint (just an empty window is shown).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
