I guess he did remove all the oracle folders on the drive after cleaning the registry.

I mean Oracle binaries folder and x:\program files\oracle folder etc.,

That's Right.

I have deleted all Folders and ShortCuts, all entries in Registry and Even from Start Menu -- Programs as well.

Problem Persist... I suppose by Re-Installing any O/S The Services will not be there for Oracle unless you Install Oracle.

Any Idea Yet.

Thanks

That depends whether the install is clean/fresh install from scratch formatting drive or install to fix the problems of drivers/dll`s. In later case it won't overlay registry.

It Installed the Newer Copy of O/S with New user ...
I checked the Registry It did not have any Oracle And No Entry for Oracle in Services.

Thanks

The problem need not be with oracle files at all. It could be dll's the overlay some of OS dll's in system file of OS. Iam not NT registry hacker... to tell things exactly work but, it complex proble could be anywhere looking at the problem you are dealing with.

If possible and you have time, try to install OS and let it format the drive under NTFS and install Win 2K porfessional. I do remember it gives the option to format/not to format the drive at the time of installation. Pick format and install option and then try. See is there any recent service packs for Win 2k. Not that Iam aware of...

GOOD LUCK !

I wish sometime, I get to the roots of NT registry. I dunno when that happens. Lookin forward... :)
