You mentioned that you deleted the Oracle entries from the registry... Did you first check Oracle Universal Installer to try and remove everything that was listed via the Installer first?

I don't have time right now to check for you, but you may want to check the Oracle tech site: http://technet.oracle.com

Yes it can. I have Oracle 8 Personal Edition version 8.1.7.0.0 installed on my Windows 2000 laptop.
