Hi All,

I have created oracle 11 XE ..
Once it is created it was running fine.
I have worked on that 2 days.

Problem is occured when I restart my machine..
I m getting below error:

Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory

I have checked the forum in which it is mentioned that ORACLE_HOME is not properly set.
I tried that one alot of time.
Even now environment variable shows proper value.

Please help me out.

Thanks

Please can you show you current settings for the environment variables ORACLE_HOME and PATH? Then the command WHERE SQLPLUS, and the error? Like this:
c:\users\john>
c:\users\john>echo %ORACLE_HOME%
c:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1

c:\users\john>echo %PATH%
c:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\bin;C:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\bin;C:\app\oracl

Hi,

here is an output :

echo %ORACLE_HOME%
c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server

echo %PATH%
c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin; c:\windows\system32; c:\windows;

where sqlplus
'where' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batchfile.

3rd command does not give an output as I am using Windows XP
Please help me out.

Come on, man. Think: how do you find a file on Windows XP? I don't know, because I know virtually nothing about Windows, but what about dir /s for example? You must learn to use your operating system.
And you must show the results of your attempted SQL*Plus connection.
And you must enclose your copy/paste within [code] tags.

Sorry, man, I have asked you twice now to use copy/paste and code tags to show the real situation. Since you haven't done that, I have no idea if what you believe to be true is in fact correct.

And now you use SMS-speak at me. All in all, not very professional.

Perhaps someone else feels able to assist.

Don't you have a disk or a USB stick? You could cut and paste the errors into Notepad on your XE machine, save it to USB, transfer it to your internet connected PC and paste it here.
