    I'm not familiar with that error... however, double check: is the Oracle driver a 32-bit driver? If so, and you're running 64-bit TestComplete, you'll have errors.

        It's not a matter of the OS.  It's the version of TestComplete.  Starting with TestComplete 12.4, when you run TestComplete, it runs in 64-bit mode.  You CAN run TestComplete in 32-bit mode by finding the TestComplete.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\Bin\ and run that instead.  This should allow you to use the 32-bit driver.
