i just bought a new acer aspire with vista home premium edition and when i tried to install Oracle 10g on it
i got OS incompactibility error and it is becos of the oracle that i bought the machine.
if i upgrade to ultimate version will it solve the problem or should i downgrade the machine to XP?
thanks.

bros abeg remove that sucking OS it gives problem alot and downgrade to XP that is still the best thing and wait were do you get your opracle10g CD from hope it complete sha.

How many partitions do you have in your HDD
Make sure you have up to 4 partitions or sth like that Oracle will not run on a single partition HDD
The other partition on ur machine is a backup HDD
Also you shld upgrade ur VIsta to Enterprise or pROFFESSIONAL Edition

Just my penny

i have two partitions but i dont think is a partition problem.
on the upgrade stuff i really do i get original vista ultimate or enteprise i m quite far from lag?
Can i install XP on a different partition in the same machine that runs vista home?
having two of them working in the same computer?

@Gomez
You can either downgrade to an XP or get the Oracle 10G release 2 version that would work on Vista.I must warn you though Oracle on Vista is a mess

I think Oracle on Vista is ok. Thatz wat i use since it was totally impossible for me to get Linux on my laptop even when i used a Virtual Machine so i just decided to use the Vista Version and im loving it. Its almost the same as using it on Linux.

Its not like its bad but its way better on XP there are some little hitches here and there especially when you are using SQL Plus

dts true!! bt its still ok tho

@Gomez
So simply put just look for a 10g release 2 and it should be ready to roll on your Vista

@amasha
Do you have problems on your System? especially when you are trying to edit commands on your SQL Plus or is it just me?

well i just started having problems 2day n its pretty annoying.About SQL*PLUS, i have problems editing commands. When i try using the hr account it keeps telling me that its locked when its not.

There's a Work around to intall Oracle 10g on Vista, but chances are that it's behaviour would be totally unpredictable, working at one time perfectly and at another time messing up totally.As Options,why dont you try downgrading your OS or get the oracle 10G update for Vista. Of my two options, i think the former will be the best to take.

@amasha
I told ya .Its normal sha you would get pretty used to it with time as for your HR i dont know wassup with that my HR is working fine i only have issues with my EM and the fact that i cant open the performance and admin windows

i hope ur not trying to laff at me?? , i'll uninstall it and install it again, i hope it works well this time because im really pissed and im preparing to write my exams in a wk

@FreemanMic
True talk

@amasha
Ahh Ahh Mademoiselle why on earth would i do that?Hmm uninstalling and installing might give you problems but go for it if you have to do it the problem is if your cd is not original you are bound to have one or two problems here and there

Pls can sm1 assist me, i installed oracle on vista on my oracle OS, but cannot launch the browser,the GUI as well as launch isql. if any soln pls mail me
