Problems starting services on Laptop

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help ...
We have three users who run a local oracle database (8.1.7.0) on their laptops (P3's running W2K) when offsite and connect to the network and main database (8.1.7.0) on the server when they are in the office. This has been running smoothly for several months/weeks (depending on the user).
In the last week all three now have a problem where they cannot connect to the local instance of oracle running on their laptop if they are in the office and connected to the network. They don't even have to be connected to the server version of Oracle, just connected to the network.
They are all getting error "ORA-03113 - end of file on communication channel". We cannot even connect to the database through SQLPlus and a sys user. If they disconnect from the network and reboot their laptops (a simple network logoff does not work) they can then connect to the local oracle versions without a problem.
There are no new pieces of software loaded, no oracle configurations or files have changed since setup, and the laptops have all been virus scanned with the latest definitions yesterday.
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this issue and why it would show up all of a sudden? And a fix of course.
Thanks

Thanks Fredrik, I'll give it a go.
I think the subject of my problem is misleading (but couldn't take it back after I posted it). The services are all started ok, its the connection to the database that is at error.
I will give the SQLNET Authentication a go.
Thanks again.

  • Problems starting services after virtualising Crystal server

    We have virtualised our crystal server and the machine starts up but we are getting errors when starting the services and a message
    "There is an error: A server running on a machine different from the CMS machine may not register to the CMS with your current set of license keys.  The product must be upgraded.. It is with server APM-WP-CRYSTAL2.EVENTSERVER"
    the cms server is showing true for alive and enabled
    crystal reports cache server is false for both and so are all other servers.
    we have had new license keys provided but this has not worked

    Hi Mark,
    Can you let us know is this key was working earlier.
    Try to Enable all the servers and then restart the servers.
    Also Stop your Central configuration manager and restart all services.
    Is this enterprise version is a named user or concurrent user's version.
    Just let us know if any.

  • Acer Laptop stuck at "Setup is Starting Services," can't move on AT ALL!

    Hi! I've been having a serious issue with my Acer Aspire (Windows 7) laptop since around 3am last night. Before I go on, please note that I have been searching for solutions before posting this question, and none of what I've found matches my situation and/or
    solves the issue.
    SHORT VERSION:
    Issues:
    -"Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation" error window keeps showing up, forcing me to click OK, and restart (causing same error over and over)
    -After the above error, and another attempt to restore, this error shows "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows Installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click OK to restart the computer and then the
    installation."
    -can't access login screen after continues restarts
    -AtBroker.exe and Explorer.exe not running (and probably other important .exe as well?)
    -None of the Safe Modes are accessible
    What I've done so far:
    -begin restore process (not factory default! the process included backing up my files)
    -continuous restart and encounter "Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation."
    -F8 to start the "Last known good configuration," just led me back to the current issue.
    -F8 to boot in Directory Services Restore Mode, went back to trying to install in Safe Mode, forced me to restart.
    -F8 to disable automatic restart (failed and made me restart anyway)
    -F8 to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"... also failed
    NOTHING I've done has made any advancement past the "Setup is starting services."
    LONG VERSION
    Last night, I was installing a new theme on my laptop (from a 3rd party on deviantart, but I was carefully following instructions to not mess anything up, using theme manager. however it's probably the reason for the issue) and everything was going well.
    i had to restart occasionally to make sure the themes worked but on my final restart (after I decided I preferred a previous theme), everything went wrong! After logging in, the screen turned gray (it'd probably be black for others, but mine was gray maybe
    due to the theme) and the cursor was there just flickering. And this continued for about 10 minutes before I tried opening task manager but that failed (said the .exe wouldn't start properly) so I shut it down (through ctrl+alt+del) and restarted.
    Still same issue, but this time it said that AtBroker.exe and then explorer.exe were unable to run properly, preventing me from even seeing my desktop.
    So today when I got home, I ended up going through the Acer eRecovery Management and doing a system restore (but it would keep my files, just restore the settings to how they were when my parents bought the laptop (summer-ish 2011)). It took a while and
    it looked promising. Eventually, it took me to the screen with the Windows logo, then to a screen that said "setup is starting services"). And it gave me an error that it couldn't continue installation so it had to restart, so I clicked OK. It happened
    again. Clicked OK and repeated that 2 more times until I got fed up. I just want to skip around that installation and try to access my desktop or at least Command Prompt but it won't let me get any further without making me restart (by clicking OK). I also
    do not recall any disk when my dad set my laptop up but this was 2 years ago. I can't find one either, so I assumed Windows 7 came with it?
    I really don't know what to do! Nor am I really tech savvy when it comes to fixing this kind of computer problem, so if anyone has any solutions, I wouldn't really know a lot of terms that would be important to know when it comes to fixing this issue. Hopefully,
    someone can explain what's happening and how I can fix it fairly simply.
    Thanks!

    Hi Olivia,
    Thanks for your structured and logical description.
    It sounds really serious. According to my understanding, you can't start your computer normally.
    Please refer to this article:

    If the issue still persists, we suggest you use installation DVD to do clean install.

  • SQL server 2005 problem with service starting

    I am having a problem starting my sqlserver service. It will not start and therefore i have no access to my sql 2005 server database. This is what in the event log. This database was working fine until i had two drives kill over in a RAID configuration.
    The striping went out with a hitch and no i want to see if anyone have any ideas before i perform a restore. Do i need to run SQL server repair with the installation disk?

    Well from viewing the log it looks like i am in a pickle. Since the SQL service won't start, is there a command or script to run for a database check using powershell? Since it looks like i will be doing a restore, just curious now.

    Hi,
    The issue here is that the JAVA engine has not ye started completely. Check the status of the SAP instance in SAP MMC. You need to have the SDM, dipatcher, Server0 in green(started completely). If the server0 is in yellow/grey, then u will not be able to launch the portal URL.
    Check and post us the dev_server0 log for more information.

  • I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. Does anyone else have issues with their laptop having problems starting when shut off or restarting when asleep since installing Yosemite?

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which I have upgraded a few things on. I have updated to Yosemite and am having problems with getting my laptop to come out of sleep mode, and to start when shut off. Any ideas of what this might be or how to correct it? Is this more probably a hardware issue or software?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • T61p- problem starting laptop after shut down or standby

    Hi,
    I'm facing problem with my T61p laptop, whenever I’m hibernating or shutting down or putting it on standby mode.
    Well hibernate never work whenever i try, it show me  "unable to complete API, insufficient system resource" so after that I never used this feature.
    From the last 2 month, 3 out of 5 times when I try to wake it up from standby mode via pressing the power button nothing happen and finally I have to forcefully shut down the system and then it works which corrupted my local oracle data file
     Now recently, the last working shut down option also started creating problem for me. after successfully shut down laptop last night, this morning I tried starting but nothing is happening, I tried repeatedly 3 /4 hours and luckily  it booted now
    But same issue is still there as I verified one more time after shutdown it again and now working on laptop is all depends on my luck
    Anybody have any pointer on this issue ?
    Thanks in advance
