Hi guys, I am developing an ERP with Oracle as database. It was working fine for the first instance. But after shutting down and restarting again, I cannot connect my engine with the database. The error msgs in the database are as follows: when I try to connect: -> connected to idle instance. ->ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters ->ORA-01565:failure to identify the spfilexe.ora. ->ORA-27046:file size is not multiple of logical block size. ->OSD-04012:file size mismatch (os 2561). the "spfileXE.ora" is not created in oraclexe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/dbs. I tried reinstalling but its the same problem again. Help seekuh
