Seems like I messed it up pretty good, I'm currently in an PL/SQL class, and had 10g installed from last terms class. The instructor had us uninstall 10g, to prepare for installing 11g. This went off without a hitch. But when I got home and tried to install 11g on my Win7x64, I was not able to get it to start up. I went online and read about issues with running the 32bit program on a 64bit system.
So, not thinking all too much I decided to restore my computer to before I uninstalled 10g. Now 10g does not work. So I uninstall 10g... but its still there, no links in the program list work, but I see it in the control panel.Clicking uninstall does nothing, and 11g will not install because I already have the oracle service running since I still have parts of 10g.
I have a temporary fix, about to install the virtual box, and try a small Linux OS like Puppy Linux and install 11g on that.
But would anyone happen to know a permanent fix, or remove everything so its not wasted space on my drive?
ANY help would be appreciated!
Oh, and after I uninstalled 10g the first time, i used CCleaner, both the normal cleaner and the Registry cleaner. I still have the save reg save file from before i deleted like 138 entries. I can try that but I don't want to waste any more days trying to figure it out myself when I need to be catching up in class and there may be a pro who can help faster. Thank you in advance
