I solved the problem on the test machine by clearly reinstalling the o/s and then oracle.

I think the problem is with o/s win2000.

I tried removing the services and adding new service twice then also no use.It says service unable to started in timely fashion.

Oracle on NT one another system is without any problem for long time.

Since the CD is for oracle on win NT.

May be the o/s will stabilise in near future.

Cheers
