   Some additional problems have arisen.  If I try to connect thru SQLPLUS, I   
   get error #12500, and sometimes error # 12154.  Again, am not a DBA.  Just   
   trying to get started with Oracle 10g.  Have used Oracle 9i successfully at   
   home with no problem.  Am attempting to use Oracle 10g in standalone(not   
   network enviornment).   
   I noticed that the installation did not create a Listener.ora or a   
   TNSNAMES.ora file, so I moved the old ones from Oracle 9i to the new home   
   dir in Oracle10g.  Could this be what's causing me the problems.  If I use   
   the web to attempt to get to EM, I keep getting an error message about   
   incorrect password, and yet I did change the password at installation.   
   Can't tell what the difference is between OS & HOST.  Can anyone help me   
   here?  Finally, is going thru the web now the only way to use EM.  I used to   
   like the EM in Oracle 9i.....
