title: ORA-12514 after rebooting server
body: <p>I am using Oracle 10g R2. 
  Recently, after rebooting the server, I started having a problem where I couldn't connect to the instance. I am only connecting locally on the server itself. </p>
  
  <p>Oddly enough, the issue corrects itself if I start the Database Administration Assistant, and select my instance to supposedly change its settings. </p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have a clue on the roots of this problem?</p>
  
  <p>@akaDruid: I am testing my connection simply by trying to start SQLPlus on the server. </p>
  
  <p>@Matthew: It's Windows</p>
