Again about Oracle 8i on Win XP Pro

[ANSWER]

Hi,

I've installed Oracle 8i enterprise edition on P-III box which has XP
pro(SP1), after installation it worked fine and after I rebotted my box it
stopped working and I checked the services for oracle and it says "Starting"
as status instead of "Started".
I've uninstalled the Oracle and reinstalled three times and found the same
problem all the time.

PS.
Don't mention Oracle 9i, I need help specificly for 8i

What can I do to solve this?
Thanks

Nothing. Oracle 8i is not certified on XP and will be desupported
anyway end of this year.

I agree with Sybrand. Rejecting the one and only solution available is
not a good move on your part. If you can upgrade ... upgrade now. If not
then time to go back to W2K understanding, of course, that you are
within ~100 days of desupport.
