Hi,

some registry entries about sql server odbc driver was accidently
deleted by me. now, in the driver page of odbc data source
administor,
i can not found the sql server driver in the list. for the reason,
the SQL Server 2000 can not complete its installation normally, and
the problem is that i need to install the software.

i don't know how do i fix the error. i've already download a MDAC RTM
from microsoft, but it stop installation and report: MDAC 2.8 RTM is
incompatible with this version of Windows. All of its features are
currently part of Windows.

can anyone please help me ( my system is Windows XP )

1. Try a System Restore to before you messed about in the registry.
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
"Restore my computer to an earlier time"

2. If #1 doesn't work, try booting to Last Known Good Configuration. Do
this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up.
This will get you to the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key;
the mouse will not work here.
