Utter newbie PL/SQL Dev won't start

[golferagw]

new Oracle and PL/SQL Dev user. I downloaded the trial and when run, it just hangs a the "Logging In" phase...I never get anywhere. I tried downloading the Oracle Instaclient and installing, but still nothing?

Any help? Thanks

Did you supply a username and password? If so, does PL/SQL Developer continue if you omit the username and password and press cancel on the logon screen?

There is no area to supply anything yet, i'm at the splash screen...

Strange. Can you modify the PL/SQL Developer shortcut and add the nosplash parameter and try again? For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" nosplash
