Somehow I can't remember where the .vimrc file is located on Windows. Here's the note to myself: - c:\documents and settings\username\_vimrc (XP)
- c:\users\username\_vimrc (Vista)
Replace c:\documents and settings or c:\users with whatever your environment variable %USERPROFILE% contains. I usually restrict myself to the following in _vimrc: set guifont=Courier_New:h9:cDEFAULT
set tabstop=2 And then you're done! |

I installed VMWare GSX on my Windows XP machine which was a bad idea. Even worse, when trying to deinstall the installer crashed and left my system in a bad state. I tried installing VMWare server but to no avail - it would pick up old DLLs from the GSX installation. I sort of gave up and did not bother until yesterday when I found a knowledge base article from Vmware. I followed it and - voila! it worked. The kb article is here: Cleaning Up After Incomplete Uninstallation on a Windows Host |

I am often asked whether Windows 2003 Service Packs are supported with Oracle. The simple answer is yes: all service packs are implicitly supported. The more complex answer is: it depends on your firewall settings and post-install actions. Metalink Note "309939.1: Oracle Database Statement of Support for Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 and Higher" has all the details. |

Have you ever had to work with an Oracle installation on Windows and found that oracle.exe in taskmanager used 100% per cent CPU but could not find out who was causing this? The problem with Oracle on Windows lies in the way of the implementation. Rather than properly forking off child processes (the Unix way), Oracle on Windows uses threads - Java programmers will know that. The downside is that you can't easily see which threads are allocated by which process. |
