ORA-00018

Receiving the following error when using oradim to shutdown a database:

DIM-00018: Failed to stop Oracle Service
O/S-Error: (OS 1051 > A stop control has been sent to a service which
other running services are dependent on.

This is Oracle 9.2 database on NT4.0. I 've reviewed postings on
Metalink but no answers were found.

Anyone have an idea of something to try? I have stopped the services
through the control panel and stopped the application which references
the database. I don 't find anything in the alert log. There is a trace
log but that is like reading brail when you 've never had too.

Thanks,=20
Laura
