The parameter to look in the registry is ORA_ORA9I_PFILE
and points to the parameter file. Make sure that it is located there. Regards -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 6:16 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Check whether the service finds your init<sid>.ora file. The parameter in the registry might point to a different location for the service. You can find the parameter file and copy paste it to the location that the service is looking for it. I hope that this will help.

The service actually starts without any problems, but for some reason, starting the service doesn't actually start the database. I have to actually login to SQL*Plus in /nolog mode, connect / as sysdba and then do a startup manually to get the database running. Thanks though. _YEX_ <)))>< -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 3:38 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Are you using a domain to connect to your PC. You should go into services and OracleService<SID> ---> Properties. In the Log On tab go and choose log on as this account and choose your username and password that you are connecting to the domain. Stop and restart the service, and check that the memory is reserved for the instance. Regards Theodoros -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 8:22 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I upgraded a database yesterday from 9i R1 (9.0.1) to 9i R2 (9.2.0.1.0), and am now having problems with the database starting up automatically on system reboot. This is on a Windows 2000 Pro machine. The error that I get when I try to connect with SQL*Plus is "ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist". If I run SQL*Plus with the /nolog option, connect / as sysdba, and startup manually, everything works fine. Anyone have any idea why it won't startup automatically, or what I could try to get it to?
