Hi sumit,
Please make sure the software you have is for the specific OS you are running on your PC, as Oracle have different software(oracle databse) for different OS. You can also download these software from OTN

I believe that the problem has to do with two symjit.dll (or something like that, maybe symji..) files that are outdated, and do not recognize the P4 chip. A new file is available for download somewhere on the web. Search and replace all symjit files that were unpacked from the oracle.
But really, to have more fun, I suggest that you download Red Hat Linux 7.1 from somewhere ( a mirror site of red hat would be the best place ), install it. Download the Linux version of Oracle and follow the steps as given in http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.html.
