Have you cleaned up you db using the scripts mentioned? Probably there's a left over of an earlier initialization process.

I think the way i installed it itself was incorrect. Its been corrected now and its woking fine. I had to chose derby database while setting up CM and then its working fine

You should be able to use DB2 as a content store, provided it has been configured correctly and the relevant capabilities have been granted.

Having said that, XP Professional is not a supported environment to install a Cognos 10 server on in the first place. I guess this is some kind of demo or test machine?
