    Connect to Server Manager using Internal

    Shutdown immediate;

    startup pfile= driver:/........./.........../xxxxxx.ora

    Check if it gives any error in the startup. If this successful, you should not get the error.

    Good Luck!

    Sharma is right; Seems like your Oracle service is starting but the database is failing to initialize.
    That is the problem with NT Services; it does not tell you when it fails to start the database. Check the Alert Log and it will show you why the database was not started.

    Or if you start from the SvrMgr, it will show you the errors.

    Why don't you check the Alertlog. And it seems your environment has changed.

    also make sure you set oracle_sid before attempting to connect from the Server Manager.

    On the DOS prompt --

    SET ORACLE_SID = your_sid_name

    SVRMGR


    If the SID is SET and the related Oracle service (OracleServiceSid_Name) is running then you should be able to connect from Server MAnager.
    I think in Oracle 7.3 (for NT) there are 2 services; can you check that both the services are running.

    And most importantly check the end of the Alert Log file for the appropriate errors.
