SYMPTOMS

There is a known problem with using Oracle7 for Win32s with the Windows Sound System version 2.0. The problem occurs when starting up a database in the Database Manager. Oracle7 may hang during this process. The machine will need to be rebooted.

The SNDEVNTS.DRV file is causing the problem by performing stack checking on the application stacks of Oracle7. The stack checking is corrupting the application stack of Oracle7 causing the application to hang.
