Hi Jeff,

Open a cmd window and check your environment.

Make sure the correct Oracle binaries are appearing first in the path
for the 8i database.  If incorrect use the Oracle Home tool to switch
Oracle Homes and open another cmd window and check it again.

Also, set your ORACLE_SID in the command window if you have not 
done so already.

HTH
