Scott, Having been recently introduced to the world of Oracle on NT, I can concur with that. I haven't tried 9i, but no version of oracle prior to that will automatically start by starting the service, *unless* you take the trouble to setup the registry. And even then there may be issues with startup. At least the shutdown is working correctly. For others reading this post: if you have Oracle on NT, go take a quick look at your alert logs. Do you see 'crash recovery' in there? If so, you better setup the registry correctly, as your database is being shutdown in a manner harsher than shutdown abort.
