I Installed Oracle 8i in my PC using XP,Immediatly After Installing It was Running Fine, Means It was Accepting SCOTT TIGER, But After Restarting its not Accepting SCOTT-TIGER or SYSTEM-MANAGER, Why this is SO? What Should i Do now? I Installed Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 Personal Edition, I m Using Winxp with NTFS, I Searched in the Forum one Guy Said that 8i Doesn't Support to WINXP. Is it True? Should i go for 9i?

Oracle 9i Doesn't Support VISTA, But Supports XP
Oracle 8i Doesn't Support VISTA Nor XP But Supports 2000
Oracle 8 Supports XP
Oracle 10g/11g Supports XP and VISTA Both

I read somewhere that few version of 10g Doesn't Run on VISTA
