oracle 8i client on win7 x64

user7346336Jan 23 2013 — edited Jan 24 2013
hi there, I am trying to install oracle 8i client onto a win7 x64 box. The client installs no problem. I can add the DSN entry into the 32bit odbc admin no problem (no test button on 8i version of the ODBC driver unfortunatley). However when I try to create a new report in crystal reports XI (32 bit app) and try to make a new database connection, I can see the DSN entry that I put into ODBC earlier but after i put in the username and password then press ok it just hangs. Crystal reports goes into a state of "not responding" but never comes back with an error. Any suggestions please (other than to upgrade the database from 8i ;-) )

regards
Chris
