Hi

Try changing the environment variable for temp.

On the desktop right click on my computer>properties>advanced tab>environment variables.

Chane the value of TEMP C:\temp to c:\DIR_NAME or E:\DIR_NAME and TMP c:\temp to c:\DIR_NAME or D:\DIR_NAME

Not sure about XP but works on NT and 2000.

This way you can make oracle use some other directory as temp dir.

Amar
