Good Lord, who would have thunk (sic) that 1/4 gig of RAM wouldn't be enough on a PC?
Who indeed? But then, who would have thought that 128Mb of PC133 would cost $20? I remember paying twice that for 64Mb only last Christmas! (Dammit!) And about the same for 8Mb of FastPage a couple of years before.
The defrag issue does seem a bit wierd. But I wonder if a delete, defrag and re-install would help? Or you might like to try stopping the management server. I'm not sure what Oracle does on/to NT, but I know it wants to play about with the kernel (and grab a huge amount of RAM) on Linux. -- Which (as well as my calculating that I'd never, ever be able to afford to run it commercially) is why I use MySQL. But that's another story.
There are so many interesting (and instructive) possibilities: I hope you keep fiddling with it!
