Running into strange errors when creating a new instance

Question

Hello:
I am running 9.2.0.8 on a Windows 2003 Server.
When I try to create a new instance, I chose a New Database/UTF-8/16KB Block Size. Everything else was default value. However, I get a "ORA-29807: specified operator does not exist" error. When I looked into the Create log file, the file, CreateDBCatalog.log has the following errors:
No errors.

Answer 1

Venki,
The ORA-00942 is okay because there is no existing object. But what stuck me is the ORA-01921 error which may indicate that this might not be a new database.
CREATE ROLE exp_full_database
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01921: role name 'EXP_FULL_DATABASE' conflicts with another user or role name
CREATE ROLE imp_full_database
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01921: role name 'IMP_FULL_DATABASE' conflicts with another user or role name
Are there any existing databases on this server? Have you tried to create it on other machine?I searched on Metalink too and found Doc ID: 237486.1 ORA-29807 Signalled While Creating Database using DBCA which say that eroror could be ignored. You may want to review that as well.
