Hi. Due to error in OS system (W2K) a database crushed on me. Just to be on the safe side I shutdown the database by doing:

ORADIM -SHUTDOWN -SID GLXYN -SHUTTYPE srvc,inst -SHUTMODE i

After it was shutdown, we started up the db by doing

ORADIM -STARTUP -SID GLXYN -STARTMODE AUTO

This hang for an hour, apparntly doing nothing. So after killing to above session, we decided to shutdown the db again using the above example again, which now gave the error

DIM-00018: Failed to stop Oracle service
O/S-Error: (OS 997) Overlapped I/O operation is in progress


Has anyone else ecountered this type of error, and if so, what was the solution?

Cheers
Fiona
