Thanks Tim,
Can't seem to find a downloadable 9i 'Personal' only facility. I don't want to download the full 9i DB set. I have these on disk already and Personal Edition does not seem to be an option in it.

It's intended for an Win XP Pro laptop - the only version I can find is 9i vers9.0 for Win 98 (on otn.oracle.com). Do you know if there is a version certified for use with XP?
