Hi Shelle,
If you are still having problems and getting the _GetIUMS@4 error
message, here is what to do.
The problem is a corrupted file: OLEDB32.DLL. It is a part of
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).
-You will have to replace this file by (re)installing the Service pack
(SP) for Windows XP or a MDAC installation (you will need the right
version). Try the SP first - it solves the problem most times.
-Before you install the SP you need to remove the OLEDB32.DLL from you
system.
-In Explorer, goto Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and allow viewing
of "..Protected operating system files...", also turn on "Show hidden
files and folders" (note your original settings so you can switch back
later).
-Now search your hard drive for the OLEDB32.dll and get rid of all the
copies that you find.
-Drag c:\Windows\System32\dllcache\oledb32.dll into the recycler (this
will stop Win2k/XP system protection from replacing the real
oledb32.dll in the next step).
-Drag c:\program files\common files\system\oleDB \oledb32.dll to the
recycler as well.
If you found other copies of the file, delete them too (not those
found in uninstall files from windows update and the like).
-Click "Cancel" and confirm the cancel the one or two times that the
system protection asks about restoring those versions from the WinXP
install CD
The reason why you have to delete the file is that MDAC files are not
overwritten during install if the version is the same or older.
INSTALL the SP which will install the file again. Reboot. That's it.
......IF not, you'll need to install the CORRECT version of MDAC.
......Use the "MDAC 2.7 SP1 Refresh" for Windows XP.
Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en
and type in keyword "MDAC". The fourth search result is the "MDAC 2.7
SP1 Refresh". The Fifth search result is the "Component Checker". This
program will tell the MDAC version. Read the manual so that you better
understand the infomation the program gives you and do read a bit
about MDAC and in any case the information concerning each version
(shown alond with the search results.
A long story.....hope it helps.
