sql server clients : Unable to load communication module

Hello

I have a VB6 app which connects to SQL Server. The application is installed
and runs correctly in all workstations, but one. The error message I receive
when I try to connect is:

"Unable to load communication module. Driver has not been correctly
installed."

The PC in question is a Cyrix M II 300MHz, with 95MB RAM running Microsoft
Windows 98 (no 2nd. edition). I even installed client tools from SQL Server,
but I receive the same message when I try to connect to the SQL Server. Any
suggestions?

LB.

It sounds like you do not have sufficient permissions for
the user account to access the database drivers. Look
for a file on your machine named "odbcjt32.dll" and make
sure that the account you run your application as has a
minimum or "Read" on the folder containing this driver.

The default location is in /system32/

I don't think it could be a permissions problem since the OS in question is
Windows 98. AFAIK, in Windows 9x/Me, all users has full control over all the
files in the machine... But I'll look for the file and see what could be
wrong with it...

It's possible that reinstalling MDAC could help. That might reestablish file or registry permissions or overwrite a corrupted dll.
