Error trying to print from 8.0.5 on XP

Published: 06 Apr 2004

I work at a help desk and have a customer using Oracle Release 8.0.5 on Windows XP. Everything works fine until she tries to print. The black script comes up as it usually does but an error -- ORA-12571 TNS Packet Writer Failure -- appears. Then it asks for a user id. I have been searching the Web site and did follow one suggestion to change SQLNET.Authentication_Services from NTS to NONE but that didn't do anything. Please help!
Your problem is most likely that Oracle 8.0.5 is not certified for Windows XP. Weird errors like this occur when Oracle 8 or 8i software runs on XP platforms. In addition, the only XP platform that Oracle is certified for is the XP Professional platform. XP Home is not supported. Make sure that you are running certified combinations and I would bet that your problems go away!

Cannot create Oracle 8.0.5 database on Windows 2003 Is Oracle 8.0.5 compatible with the Windows 2003 platform running on HP DL 380 G5 5130 2G AP Server?

Tracesvr80.vrf(67):unbound variable 'exe' error I want to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows XP, but it is giving me the following error message: "tracesvr80.vrf(67):unbound variable 'exe'." Can you please give me the solution?

Only able to log in after creating new database I created a new database and I was able to login. Prior to creating a new database I was receiving the error "oracle not found." I closed SQL*Plus and tried logging in. This time it did not work. I created another database. It worked. What's going on?

Getinfo procedure error I have two different versions of Oracle, 8.0.5 and 10.1.0.2, on Win2000 SP4. I have to upgrade my database to 10g. But under normal working conditions I get a Perl.exe.OCIDLL getinfo procedure error. How to resolve this error?

Installing 8i with peer-to-peer networking on Windows XP We have Oracle 8i Server Edition but I can't install on a Windows XP operating system. Also, tell me how to install in Windows XP peer-to-peer networking. We have more than 40 machines. After installation it says "Oracle not available; shared memory realm does not exist."

Oracle not available after restart I have loaded Oracle8i on a Windows XP system. When I restarted my system I got an error message: "ORA-1034: Oracle not found." I changed the property of all the services of Oracle running in my system to "automatic" but still didn't succeed in running Oracle. I had to create a new database with a different global database name and SID, and whenever I restart my system I need to do the whole process again.
