It appears that you installed the database before forms which is not the 
recommended method. What you need to do is change the default Oracle 
home. I would suggest you go to http://metalink.oracle.com and look up 
"Multiple Homes." You will find directions on how to correct the 
problem. Also ... check out the Oracle Home Selector on the Start 
Programs menu.
