I'm running CR XI, release 2 on a windows 7 64 bit machine and when I try to connect CR to my Oracle 10.2.1 database, I receive an ORA-12154 error TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified. &nbsp;<br />

I'm running CR XI, release 2 on a windows 7 64 bit machine and when I try to connect CR to my Oracle 10.2.1 database, I receive an ORA-12154 error TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified.  

The TNSnames file is correct as other applications on this PC connect to the Oracle db without any errors. 

What do I need to do to run CR XI on a 64 bit OS (Windows 7)?
