Enterprise8i install problem on NT - "help"!

[HZan]

I am currently attempting to install Oracle8i on my stand-alone NT.
I am getting all sorts of errors during the database creation and initialisation
process.
The version is 8.1.5.

When I install, all goes well until Net 8 attempts to intitialize the DB
after copying the files. I keep getting ora-00101 regarding invalid system parmeter for MTS_DISPATCHERS.
Then I get ORA-00102: NETWORK
PROTOCOL(ADDRESS=(PARTIAL=YES)(PROTOCOL=TCP))
and ORA-01034: ORACLE NOT LOGGED ON.
I have commented out the MTS parameter in the init.ora file but But when in entering
username: system and pswd:manager in sqlplus, I get TNS:no listener ORA-12541. I have checked the listener file which has Protocol: Named pipe, machinemy_name),
and pipename ; orapipe. The same goes for service name. I also have a
tnsnames which has my instance there and the service name.
Readme has not helped me resolve the problem.

What do I need to do to resolve this??
Thank you in advance.

What you mean - go into DOS and type this cmd?

8.1.5 was buggy - download version 8.1.7 - fewer problems - and it works with windows 2000 - 815 does not work with win2000
