Can't start ZMUD
 
Ok, here's the problem I'm having. I just upgraded my Windows 98SE system to a Win98SE/Windows 2000 dual boot, and ever since, I can't get ZMUD to start in 98. I get "Cannot open databases in directory C:ZMUD" error, then it shuts down.
I updated MDAC and tried reinstalling zmud in the same directory, and the error changed to "Class not registered".
One thing I noticed, when I was installing MDAC, it gave an "Error registering the OCX C:Program FilesCommon FilesSYSTEMOLE DBoledb32.dll"

Already tried that. Also gone through the windows updater and made sure I was up to date, and I reinstalled IE 6, just to be sure.
Every time I reinstall MDAC, I get that OCX error.

Perhaps 'regsvr32 "C:Program FilesCommon FilesSYSTEMOLE DBoledb32.dll"' could fix the problem.

Just tried that. Here's what I got:

LoadLibrary("C:Program FilesCommon FilesSYSTEMOLE DBoledb32.dll") failed.
GetLastError returns 0x0000001f

I have no idea what that means.

I searched some on the net after the error message and it sounds as if there might be a mismatch of file versions.

Take a look at: http://www.zuggsoft.com/data/

There is a tool also on that page that you might want to try: http://www.zuggsoft.com/files/mdac_check.exe

Ok, I ran the MDAC Check, and when I clicked on the OLEDB tab, I got this error message:

CoCreateInstance failed: You most likely don't have the OLEDB components installed.

You should probably follow the instructions on that page and "reinstall" MDAC. (http://www.zuggsoft.com/data/#Windows%2098%20Installation)

I've already reinstalled MDAC 8 times. Every time I get the same error about not registering the OCX.

Perhaps http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/dcom1_3.asp works? Cool

Nope. I ran it, and I'm getting the same errors.
