I've tried re-starting all services as well as a Hard Reboot. the metalink document looks helpfull and I probably will try re-creating my password file as soon as I've backed up the server.

Also when logging into SQLPLUS through the dos promt as well as the ORA-01033, when re-entering the username and psswrd the next error appears as ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter error.

Also the SVRMGR tool is not recognised in the Dos Promt!..

What more can go wrong


Thanks
