Hey guys.. the details of my installation aren't important so much as I'm having the same problem as the guy above. I've done my research, followed the guides, and set all the semaphore parameters correctly as per my machine.

Does anyone wanna copy/paste the metalink information? Some of us are 21 year olds trying to learn to use oracle and don't have 10000$ to license oracle and have access to the elite support forums.
