Well now I tried to update my laptop and no luck...it has 2.5 sp3 and
nothing
is working...this blows big chunks.

Same here, although I tried to install the security update that is
especially got the MDAC 2.5 sp3 version... So what I did is: I upgraded to
MDAC 2.8 SP1 first. Then the MDAC security update installed correctly. It is
a workaround though ;-)

Strangely, the MDAC version checker now says I am running a Windows XP SP2
system instead of a Windows 2000 SP4 system!!

Would it have to do with:
"Microsoft strongly recommends that all customers who currently use a
version of Windows that does not have Microsoft Data Access Components 2.7
Service Pack 1 or higher upgrade immediately to Microsoft Data Access
Components 2.8 Service Pack 1 or another supported version. The only
EXCEPTION to this notice is customers who currently use Windows 2000 Service
Pack 4 running Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5 Service Pack 3. See
Knowledge Base Article 915387 for more information."?

Does this mean you are "not strongly recommended to do this" on a W2000 SP4
system, or that you "should not do this" on a W2000 SP4 system?"
