CONNECTION PROBLEMS- 8i STANDARD EDITION (ora-01034 )
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GO TO THE "svrmgrl" file (in a 'BIN' file - do a search for files if not sure where it is). Double-click on it and a dos_style prompt will open. Type "connect internal" (without the quotes!) and press enter. Then type "startup open". Then wait a short while and the database will be opened. You will then be able to connect to sql, etc without getting this error.
