I had faced a weird issue something like this with dbca. I used VNC to login to terminal server and then used putty with Xming to launch dbca. Everything went done but I did not get the final 'finish' button. I used Xmanager to complete the activity then and even now we are using it.

Have you ever seen this? Any idea how to solve it? Tks Gabriel Aragon Contractor GE Corporate Information Systems T +52 (449) 910 7392 M +52 (449) 231 4618 gabriel.aragon@xxxxxx Av.
