Ok i had the same configuration as you said except PII-Mine PIII.

Ok coming to the problem go check it up in the oracle services ==>properties==>log on==>uncheck the property service to interact with desktop.

This problem i had and it was fine over.

also let me know how much free space you have in oracle home drive( c:\ or d:\).

Please let me know if you still have problem.

Cheers
