Please am trying to run ORACLE 10g on my system but i keep getting this message
'ORA 12546 TNS permission denied'
hv tried evrytn i knw bt still geting d same thing...
Please what do i do??

Probably caused because the necessary permission needed to launch the server is not set
What OS are you using?
check the permission of the oracle home bin directory.

Maybe the 10g is not compatible with ur windows 7.i will say u should try installing 11g instead.

i had a similar version installed on my previous systen(win 7 ultimate) which worked well. But nw i jst got a new system with win 7 starter installed. Instead of having 2 format nd upgrade 2 ultimate i tink i wld rather look 4 d 11g instead.
Thanks anyway.

you do not need to format your system to upgrade from windows7 starter to windows 7 ultimate... Its a very easy procedure though...

I also had the same problem installing 10g on window 7 altimate..i tested with 7 different laptops until i got to knw 10g is not compactible with window 7 but i heard 10g has two versions with whch of one dem works with window 7

That would be true cos like i earlier said i had it installed on my former system. (version 10.2). Bt d version i nw hv is 10.1.
Already tried everytn i knw bt yet no changes.

@Barthx, sorry am getting ur post late but what i can tell you after being an Oracle Instructor with good number of years under my belt and now a DBA with a blue chip coy, first and foremost Oracle has (SOME) DB softwares that aint compatible with most operating systems for Windows which makes Linux OS preferably for scalability and security purposes. All the same when i taught most of my students, i discovered alot of config had to be done to make Oracle Db compatible with your Windows Os. So what i will advise is since ur already using a Windows 7 OS, dont upgrade or try to install diff versions of Oracle DB,just install VMware workstation and install a Windows Server 2000 0r 2003 OS on the VMware and install any Oracle version on it with very minimum config needed to be carried out. Reason being Oracle Standalone DB (Oracle DB Xpress and Oracle DB for test environment) is meant for other versions of Windows OS but the main Oracle DB was designed having a Server (MultiUSer) OS in mind, In essence the main Oracle DB (9i, 10g,11g) which are the most popular DB is meant for Windows Server OS. Bottlenecks to avoid are:
1. Before Installing VmWare, make sure you have up to 4GB RAM and good amount of HDD on ur laptop.
2. Network Card must be very good and functional
3.Plan ur DB architecture very well to avoid conflict with other resources competing for processor speed and underlying OS (Windows 7)
Call me on 08073090352 for configs to get ur DB up to speed. Best Regards,
Philemon

why not try installing vmaware with linux red hat 5, i am guessing u dont plan to run the oracle server in a production environment, so get oracle 10 / 11g and install in the Linux VM, even with your 2G, u would run ok with patience. like some1 said, the main DB version of oracle focused for multiuser environment. google is your friend for the install procedure n really, oracle runs smooth on Linux. good luck
