Answer 1

Are you running 64 Bit? Here's the latest drivers which supports it:

It took MS forever to get 64 Bit drivers for Jet 4.0.

Answer 2

If it's the 32 bit windows, and it worked previously, maybe right click mdac.inf in c:\windows\inf and choose Install to reinstall/repair it. It may ask for your windows cd.

Answer 3

try

regsvr32 /u Msjet40.dll

regsvr32 Msjet40.dll

Answer 4

Hi and thanks everyone,

mine is windows 32 bit, when i try to to uninstall Msjet40.dll it says that the module can not be found but, when i try to install it from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114 it says that i have a newer version.

I solved this by going to project properties | Build, and changing Platform Target to x86.
