Solving the TOra 2.1.1 Missing Error Description

I recently got rid of my old TOra installation and replaced it with the newer TOra 2.1.1.  Every time I tried to connect to an Oracle database, I get a "Unable to connect to the database. ORA-27749784 missing error description." as shown below.









Solution:  
Delete the oci.dll in your TOra directory e.g. C:\Program Files\TOra.

I have Oracle 10g client installed on my desktop.  I believe TOra references the oci.dll in the Oracle Client's bin directory e.g. C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\BIN.  If you copy the oci.dll in this bin directory to the TOra directory, it will work the same way.
