Last week I installed the 9i Database on my home computer running XP
Pro. Now, whenever I boot up, it takes 5 minutes before the desktop
responds properly to anything. I'll click on Start, and have to wait 20
seconds before the Start menu appears. In all other ways, the database
and applications work fine.

The machine has a 2.4 Gig processor and 512M memory. There are 32
Gigs of free space on both drives.

When I installed the DB, I chose the Personal Edition. I've also
installed JDev 9i on the machine.

I have already set the database to boot manually. I start it by
starting the OracleDB<name> service directly. I close it the same way,
unless I'm just shutting down the computer anyway.

I'm about ready to reinstall everything, basically because I want to
install it with the executables on the C: drive, and the DB files on
the D: drive (all on D: now). Is there anything else I should know
about installing that will speed up the boot time afterwards? Should I
create a new XP account on my machine just for doing Oracle, and use
the other accounts for everything else I do?

Thanks!

Go get yourself a latte'.

Seriously ... go into the Control Panel Services and turn off all of
the Oracle services you are not using except the listener and the
database itself. You'll need to go get a latte' but you'll need to
walk faster.

I appreciate Daniel... And I want to add saying that
1. The services which are not needed. should be stopped and made as
manual.
2. Evren try to increase the virtual memory if you have more harddisk
space that is
system properties->advance->performance' setting tab->Advanced
tab->change.
OR And if you can go for the 512 or 1 gb ram will do.
3. Go to the internet explorer properties and then click then increase
the temporary
internet files size and increase the size. It will be very useful
if you are using the OEM
or net based application, even the boot of the PC
4. Daily delete the temporary folder unwanted files or folders.
5. Please remove the .bmp files make as possible files of JPEG.
