    this looks like the SGA memory hasn't got released from the Memory.
    do one of the following...

    reboot the OS or
    if in Windows - kill the Services for that SID
    if in Unix - I donot remember the command but it has to be used carefuly.( reboot is advised ).

    Thanx

    to go shortcut
    if u have other instances please shut them down
    and you will see oracle.exe process running in taskmanager...just kill them...
    and restart the DBs again, either using the Service window or thru SVRMGRL utility.

    thanx
