as root
X –configure xorg.conf.new
X will start, however with a blank screen (or this was our experience)
Reset the terminal, logon as root from shell prompt
cd /etc/X11
rename or move the xorg.conf, we chose to move
mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
startx
If you are not truly unlucky, your X terminal should startup

Environment
Important
Once you finished downloading the installation source from Oracle, extract the files using any available unzip utility.
Copy all the folders from “win64_11gR2_database_2of2\database\stage\Components” to
“win64_11gR2_database_1of2\database\stage\Components” folder to avoid warnings about missing components during installation. Oracle should fix it, right?
If your computer is a domain member, then
Start the installation, and you will be provided a warning. Refer the image below
Ignore it
Proceed with the installation
Ignore the update related warning also
Just follow the prompts and complete the installation. It should be a smooth sailing.
Prior trying to access the database, make sure you changed the sqlnet.ora file following
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
# install “Software Only”, this file wont exist and without the native
# authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.# SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
We will post more screen shots soon. Stay tuned!

We realized, over a 64bit OS you may need to change the default application pool to accommodate 32bit applications. Please refer to this post
http://www.connectionstrings.com/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/234657/binding-asp-net-gridview-to-an-oracle-sys-refcursor
So, you are still using classic ASP or develop 32bit .NET applications using Visual Studio and Oracle databases on a Windows 7 64bit box and completely lost as connection cannot be established?
Here are few workaround solutions
Install the latest Oracle clients (both 64bit and 32bit)
If you installed Oracle client in the following folders (example)
D:\app\yourusername\product
right click on the folder, under security tab check whether authenticated users have read privileges.
If not, provide the basic privileges (Read & Execute, list folder contents, Read) Refer the image
Now add the user “IIS_ISURS” user and provide the same rights mentioned above
RESTART your Windows 7 “64bit” box now!
You can establish the connection from classic ASP like following
<%
Dim adoCon 'Holds Connection
Dim rsViewRecords 'Holds Recordset
Set adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
if Err.Number <> 0 then
Response.Clear()
response.Write "<hr>ORASESSION Error<br>" & err.number & " -- " & err.Description & "<hr>"
response.End
end if
adoCon.Open "provider=oraoledb.oracle;data source=test;user id=apps;password=apps;plsqlrset=true"
Set rsViewRecords = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
%>
