Check init%SID%.ora in the Oracle_Home\Database dir.. Probabaly a missing 'ENTER' key.

The error might be because your "server" (if that is one) is too small.

What processor ?
How much ram ?

[Dilippatel]

It's AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ Processor and with 515568 KB RAM ( 512 MB) RAM, so it should not be a problem.

Installation taken hardly 10 Min.

Thanks

Dilip.
