ORACLE Initialization or shutdown in progress

407048Nov 7 2005 — edited Apr 10 2018
I run an Oracle 10g database on windows 2000 OS.

I have never had problems before starting the database and using it.

Today, as usual, I started the database by going into Services and starting the OracleServiceORCL . Strange enough it gave me the STARTED status a little faster than it usually does. But when I tried to log in into SQL * PLUS, I am getting

ERROR :
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress

I am just not able to log into my database. I tried to stop and start oracle but no luck yet. The service says that oracle is started. I also see Oracle.exe running in my Task Manager

Any ideas ?

Thanks
