Peter, My advice would be to totally forget about running Oracle on Win9x of any kind. The O/S is notoriously bad at managing multi-threaded processes (which is how Oracle runs on the Win32 platform)..
If there is no chance of getting up to XP (oh bugger, I still mentioned it ;P ), how about upgrading the machine to at least NT4, or Win2K (a much better option)? Sorry, I can't help on the supported version issue, I've never had the inclination to try it.. ;) Regards Mark -----Original Message----- Peter Sent: 04 September 2002 12:44 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Just a quickie, please, folks - I have used Win NT4 for years, but have now got Win98SE on a second PC. (Don't mention XP...) Which versions of Oracle will load to 98? Single user only, stand-alone machine (no networking). On attempting to load 7.3.4 an 'unsuported' message pops up, which wasn't exactly confidence inspiring... thanks, peter edinburgh ********************************************************************* This e-mail message, and any files transmitted with it, are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.
