Thanks Neil!

I have tried to download and halsfway through i got a popup saying "fatal
setup error- this setup does not support installing on this operating system"


MDAC ought to install on most windows systems
What actual operating system are you running ?

Check the startup screen, I have a feeling it might be Win98 SE
This download page definitely lists Win98 and later (NT, 2000, XP)

WMP9 can't be installed on Win95 AFAIK, so that shouldn't be your OS

Cheers - Neil
