Windows service can not open DB.

Hi,
in 8.1.7 on Win 2003, when I launch oracleservicemyDB in Windows services, it can not open myDB and I have this error in alertlog :
Database mounted in Exclusive Mode.
ORA-1991 signalled during: alter database mount exclusive...
I can connect via sqlplus and issue :
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
and no problem.
I can SHUTDOWN or STARTUP in sqlplus without any problem. Any idea ?
I have already recreated PWDmyDB.ora file by ORAPWD.
myDB is a clone (by CREATE CONTROLFILE script) of another DB.
Many thanks.

Hi,
The oracle service has a setting which defines whether or not the instance is started when the service is started. It's a long time since I've used 8i on Windows, but I believe the command to change the setting went something like this:
oradim.exe -edit -sid <sid> -startmode a
This will configure the service so that next time it is started, it will start the instance (the 'a' means auto).
Cheers,
Andy Barry

    I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes   Error 7 (Windows error 126)   Please Help me!

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Itunes is on my desk top on windows 7 and I can not open it I have just loaded it up for the first time

    Itunes is on my desk top on windows 7 and I can not open it, I have just downloaded it again and hit repair to see if this helps as well but it still won't open

    Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
    If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
    Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

    Can not open new blank tab window from file, new tab.In Tools/Options/Tabs I have ticked open new window in new tab?

    The Ask Toolbar is probably causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • I can not open new windows

    When I´m on the internet I can not open new windows, not by ¨file new windows ¨ or by ctrl N. New tabs work but no new windows. It worls well with all other browsers.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Can not open windows exe files.

    I have enrolled at uni by correspondence and can not open any forums that have being created by adobe captivate ( mostly exe files ) with my mac. I do not run any windows with my computer the lecturer has emailed me that previous students have open these files by running them on a mac with a windows emulator.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Kristen and welcome to Discussions,
    Mac OSX can not run .exe files, since these are meant to be run in Windows (originally MS-DOS, but that's another story )
    Apples BootCamp lets you run Windows on the 'Nativ' (real) hardware your Mac has, whereas any Virtualization app like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox runs Windows in a 'virtualized environment' (emulated) hardware.
    While these Virtualization apps are great for running the typical Office programs, they are not best suited for any programs, that need direct hardware access like games for example.
    Crossover Mac is an app which allows to run certain Windows programs without having to have/buy a Windows License/CD/DVD to install Windows.
    BootCamp: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
    VMWare Fusion: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    Parallels: http://www.parallels.com/en/desktop/
    VirtualBoX: http://www.virtualbox.org/
    Crossover Mac: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    For starters I would try VirtualBox (since it is free) and a Windows license you might own and see how it works.
    Hope it helps

  • Error # 1 can not open window

    when i try to do a pano thru photomerge in pse11 on a mac i get the message error 1 can not open window. this was after i tried to fix error 22. i held down the com,option,shift keys just after a started photoshop aditor. help steve

    Quoting from another thread -
    Definitely try doing a File > Save For Web using the Photoshop Elements Editor (be sure not to save over your original photos), and then try to do a Photomerge Panorama on the resulting images.
    Photomerge apparently has some issues with some kind(s) of EXIF metadata in files, and using Safe For Web strips this information out of the file.
    This has worked for most (or perhaps all) of those that mentioned having this issue in this thread.
    Please see- http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276267 for more info.

  • I can not open most mp3 and videos in Firefox with Windows 7 64 bit. thanks for your help

    this problem is consistent on two computers with same scenario. I can not open on my site oneradionetwork.com and it is a mixed bag with opening on other sites.

    Firefox should work fine on Windows 7 64bit systems. Are you having problems, or just wondering?

  • I can not open itunes in windows 7, any suggestions?

    I can not open itunes in windows 7, any suggestions?

    Over time I've come across a number of posts concerning iTunes for Windows not opening. One conclusion from other Windows users that you might want to check out has been that it could be the result of malware on your PC. The advice has been to try scanning for malware with ewido, you'll find a free download at this link: ewido Anti-Malware
