FIrst, you should log in  through another term and run an autogen:
	@sys$update:autogen savparams setparams feedback

second, Please don't type in full capital letters. People think you are
yelling.

528.3it may be your login.comCADSE::MCCARTHYMy windows are fogged upTue Apr 04 1989 13:393
Rename your login.com then try to login again.  It may be that it is waiting
for some user input (like an INQUIRE) that will never get what it wants.

528.4Sysgen parametersMJBVAX::BLIZZARDTue Apr 04 1989 13:597
I suspect it is some of your sysgen paramters.  DECdecision has some extra heavy
requirements.  They are identified in the DECdecision installation notes.

I've seen this before, and the primary cause was gblpages.

528.5ROBOT::SOCHAOut in the FieldTue Apr 04 1989 16:238
Make sure that SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT does not have a line such as

GBLPAGES = some-number

This will keep AUTOGEN FEEDBACK from raising the value when needed.

528.6AKO455::SHEPRONOW what'd I do?Tue Apr 04 1989 17:358
In your decw$login.com, make sure the spplication starts as a spawned or 
detached process such as $SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NL: RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK

Also, although I stand to be corrected, I remember reading that each window that
comesup needs 300 unused GBLPAGES.  After installing the software, do you, in
fact have mega-free_gblpages leftover?
