Just installed the 32-bit TOAD for Oracle (along with the 32-bit Oracle instant client 10.2.0.4.0 (oci.dll version included, though, is 10.2.0.1…is that correct?)) on my Windows 7 laptop but it hangs when I start it up. I have added C:\Oracle Client\instantclient\_10\_2 to my PATH environment variable as well as NLS\_LANG and TNS\_ADMIN variables. I added debug=1 to my toad.ini file and see this: 20:27:05:069 Initializing application 20:27:05:069 Creating GlobalDataModule 20:27:05:132 Performing Toad’s startup tasks 20:27:09:350 Creating main window 20:27:09:365 Create Bitmaps Form 20:27:09:568 Restoring dock layout 20:27:09:677 Checking for Spotlight 20:27:09:693 Checking for SQL Impact 20:27:09:693 Initializing Team Coding 20:27:09:740 Building quick scripts menu 20:27:09:740 Building external tools menu 20:27:10:426 Enabling features based on license 20:27:10:442 Restoring size and position 20:27:10:442 Ribbit! 20:27:11:041 Performing Toad’s command line tasks 20:27:11:041 Application.Run And it ends at that point. Should I next see something called Create Log In Form? Thanks for any help! Jim ---

Not sure if this helps or not but I just noticed this in Windows Event Viewer: \_\__Event filter with query "SELECT \* FROM **InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA “Win32\_Processor” AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage \> 99" could not be reactivated in namespace “//./root/CIMV2” because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.** _ Thanks again for any help! Jim ---

Well, on closer inspection, it doesn’t look like the previous Event Viewer message is related…sigh…that looks like a separate issue… Back to square 1… Should I see the “Create Log In Form” as the next toadDebug.txt entry? Or something related to the oci.dll file? Thanks. Jim ---

Double checking now to make sure I am running the 32-bit version of TOAD - downloaded and ran TOADORACLE\_FREEWARE\_116\_X86.MSI. Any easy way to verify that it’s 32-bit? ---

Thanks, damir.vadas\_531, I was wondering if I should be using the “full blown” client as opposed to the instant client - I’ll give that a try. Here are screenshots from the 2 folders…I hope they insert here correctly: ---

@ jimclake Those two folders are two too deep. Please read once more mine paths. And do not sent pictures but pure cmd output-it is much easier to analyze and to upload. Brg Damir ---

In searching the Microsoft tech support site I found quite a few people who had apps that would not launch or freeze due to a similar problem (same error codes) and the problem was with adobe Flash Player add-ons. The fix was to disable those flash add-ons and in some cases to remove flash player. While this may not be your issue, it would not take long to try to see if it is related. In addition, here’s an app that seems built to help debug such hangs: [www.nirsoft.net/…/what\_is\_hang.html](http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_is_hang.html) ---

Problem solved - thanks for helping! It led me to discover a couple of major things: 1. I could use the latest version of TOAD even though I had to use version 10.2 of the Oracle client - I had made the mistaken assumption I had to use an older version of TOAD. 2. Also, despite my efforts to install the 32-but version of TOAD into the “Program Files” directory, the installer forced it into the "Program Files (x86) folder. I simply cut the “Quest Software” folder from “Program Files (x86)” and pasted it into “Program Files” and voila! I am now up and running on TOAD 12.1 with the Oracle 10.2 client. Quite an education I won’t soon forget! Thanks again! Jim ---
