    Pl. check the following which may be helpfull to you

    1. CD Drive - some time due to mirror problem installer dosn't start
    I have faced this problem - try with another CD Drive.

    2. W2k service pack

    3. Display setting

    i faced a similar issue with oracle8i.
    The issue was resolved by chanding the name of a .dll file inside the cd.

    But i don remember the actual file!!

    look, 8i is not 9i, that problem doesnt exist with 9i, so stop giving out that kind of advice

    I very well understand that 9i is different from 8i.
    This was just a kind of possibility that i thought could be in 9i too.

    actually thats not through install direcotry that is autorun/autorun.exe and the page is called oracle9iserver - auto run whith following options
    Install/Deinstall products
    Explore CD
    Browse Documentation
    and whenever i click on install.. the page hides!!
    i have noticed one funny thing when i click on explore cd i doesnt open cd rom, instead it takes me to local disk C:
