Hi, Okay, I was wrong. My W2KAS SP4 has bug like yours. But that other solution @comp.databases.oracle.server is incomplete. The correct solution should be something like: cmd /c j:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\bin\isqlplusctl stop or, cmd /c j:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\bin\isqlplusctl start Otherwise, the 'isqlplusctl' script messes up your current environment and path. Good catch on this bug.
