the main status bar of Toad shows that your Oracle client version is 8.0.6. that is a very old client version, and is likely the cause of the problem. try it with a newer Oracle client. That first screen shot is not one where a list of schemas should appear. The “description” dropdown lists the names of database entries in your tnsnames.ora file. The grid contains a history of logins. ---

If this is a 32 bit Toad (looks like it is), then install a newer 32 bit Oracle client. You can get an Oracle 11g client here: [www.oracle.com/…/112010-win32soft-098987.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win32soft-098987.html)
