i have installed oracle 8.1.6 on windows2000. though it was working fine but recently whenever i try to start the oracle service thru services panel of windows 2000 it is unable to start the service and is throwing the following error
-------------------------------
Could not start the OracleServiceANDY2 service
Error 1053:the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
---------------------------------------
kindly give a way out.
