I have downloaded and installed Oracle 9i on my Windows ME pc. The database
starts up fine and I can get in to the database using Sqlplus. I also can
access the database using Toad. I do have a few problems though. The
database configuration assistant and the net configuration won't run. I
click on them in Start/Programs/Oracle - OraHome90/Configuration and
Migration Tools and nothing seems to happen. Also I can't get the installer
to install OEM. Has anyone gotten any of these to work on Windows ME?

P.S.
Please don't flame with messages about Oracle not supporting Windows ME and
telling me I should upgrade to XP. I am not about to give Bill Gates $200 so
my printer and scanner will no longer work.

- What version 9i?
- Whaddayamean Won't run? Some info like 'I checked the task manager'
'I waited for 5 minutes' would be helpful
- Do you have the ME certified version? ;-)

Frank, please don't sell him nonsense. You *know* there is no such
thing like a certified version for ME.
To the OP: I don't know why you consider hearing the plain truth as
flaming. If you want to act like an oystrich and put your head in the
sand, go ahead. But DON'T accuse anyone of flaming. If you want to run
Oracle on an uncertified platform, it's up to you. But don't expect
anyone here to help you out.
